The direct oxidation of aromatic primary amines to the corresponding nitro compounds selectively in 47–98% yields has been achieved by using potassium iodide as catalyst and tert-butyl hydroperoxide as the external oxidant. The present catalytic system works well for both electron-rich and electron-poor substrates.
