Oxone promoted Nef reaction. Simple conversion of nitro group into carbonyl

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919808004885

A mild and convenient oxidative Nef reaction using Oxone (potassium hydrogen persulfate) is described. Following our procedure primary and secondary nitroalkanes generate carboxylic acids and ketones, respectively, both in good yields.
