In many answers, it is not the amine changing to the nitro – the transformation does not occur in the desired place. It is better to map the nitrogen so SciFinder knows that you desire the same amine to be oxidized to a nitro group. Get 88 reactions. 7/28/2016 Atom reaction mapping tool. SciFinder is a registered trademark of the American Chemical Society 90 Reaction bond marking Nearly 900 reactions retrieved, but it is not the chloro being replaced by the oxygen as desired. It is best to mark the bonds being changed. After designating bonds to be transformed, you get 565 answers – all have chloro being replaced by an oxygen. 7/28/2016 Reaction site marking tool.
