| Application: | Sodium nitrite can be used as a reagent in: • The Sandmeyer reaction for converting amines into diazo derivatives, and nitration reaction. • The oxidative C-C bond formation reaction in the presence of oxygen as the terminal oxidant. • The oxidative carbonitration of alkenes in the presence of K2S2O8. It can also be used as a nitrating agent in organic synthesis. For example, NaNO2 is used in direct C-H nitration, ipso-nitration, and nitration via transition metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction. |
| General description: | Sodium nitrite (NaNO2) is an inorganic compound that is commonly used as a reagent and catalyst in synthetic organic chemistry. |
