Am. Churakov et al., THE OXIDATION OF HETEROCYCLIC AMINES TO NITRO-COMPOUNDS USING DINITROGEN PENTOXIDE, Mendeleev communications, (3), 1995, pp. 102-103
The amino group of heterocycles has been oxidized to a nitro group usi
ng dinitrogen pentoxide; it is suggested that the mechanism of this re
action involves the transformations: amine --> nitramine --> nitroso -
-> nitro compound.
