Many aromatic nitro compounds can be prepared using mixtures of nitric and sulphuric acids, but, this medium usually results in the destruction of the substrate for aliphatic compounds. Hence a variety of less aggressive nitrating agents in nonacidic media are employed. This talk presents some recent work to re-investigate the Ponzio reaction for the conversion of oximes to the gem-nitro group. The effect of varying the reaction media, and of changing the nitrating species from N{sub 2}O{sub 4} to N{sub 2}O{sub 5} will also be presented. The reaction mechanism will be discussed with reference to CIDNP nmr studies. Where relevant the results will be compared with other aliphatic nitration methods.
