PS-SNAP, a practical polymer-supported nitrosation reagent in organic synthesis

PS-SNAP was designed and evaluated as a practical nitrosating polymer-supported reagent for the nitrosation of sec-amines. Nitrosated dialkyl amines, alkyl anilines, and bis-anilines were obtained in good yields and high purities after shaking the corresponding amines in the presence of an excess of the newly described reagent followed by simple filtration and removal of solvents.
