Popis: A one-step method for the conversion of nitroarenes into phenols under operationally simple, transition-metal-free conditions is described. This denitrative functionalisation protocol provides a concise and economical alternative to conventional three-step synthetic sequences. Experimental and computational studies suggest that unactivated nitroarenes may be substituted via an electron-catalysed radical-nucleophilic substitution (SRN1) chain mechanism.
