Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0040-4039(95)00281-G

Several primary aromatic amines have been converted to the corresponding nitro compounds in good yields.The oxidant was oxone (potassium peroxymonosulfate) and the reactions were performed in 5 to 20percent aqueous acetone and buffered with sodium bicarbonate.
