Abstract
The synthesis of nitroanilines catalyzed by horseradish peroxidase(HRP) in the presence of sodium nitrite and hydrogen peroxide was investigated. o-Nitroaniline and p-nitroaniline were found in the nitrated products. 2-Aminotoluene and 4-aminotoluene could also be nitrated to give corresponding nitrated products. This protocol has great potentials to open new avenues useful for the synthesis of nitroaniline and its derivatives.
