Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(00)98482-X

Exclusive alkylation of the nitroarenic system takes place in competitive reactions of RMgX with nitrobenzene and various electrophiles such as ketones, esters, cyanoand iodo-derivatives and in reactions with some functionalized nitrobenzenes, only aldehy
