Nitration of N‐heteroaromatics: The first example of palladium‐catalyzed direct ortho‐nitration of aryl CH bonds is described. A range of azaarenes, such as 2‐arylquinoxalines, pyridines, pyrazoles, and O‐methyl oximes, were nitrated with excellent chemo‐ and regioselectivity (see scheme; DCE=1,2‐dichloroethane). Preliminary mechanistic investigations support a silver‐mediated radical mechanism involving

ortho-nitration of aryl C–H bond is described. A range of azaarenes such as 2-arylquinoxalines, pyridines, quinoline, and pyrazoles were nitrated with excellent chemo- and regioselectivity. Using the O-methyl oximyl group as a removable directing group, the regiospecific synthesis of a variety of o-nitro aryl ketones was achieved starting from aryl ketones via a three-step process involving the Pd-catalyzed
