The reaction of an aliphatic nitro compound with the sodium salt of methanethiol can occur with clean replacement of the nitro groupby hydrogen. This is so despite the existence of a competitive process—replacement of nitro by thiomethyl. Evidence in support of the view that both transformations are electron transfer processes is presented and a radical anion-free radical chain mechanism is proposed. The factors which control the course of reaction of a nitro compound and the sodium salt of methanethiol are described and a simple rationale is presented.Until 1954 a synthetically useful method for the preparation of tertiary nitroparaffins did not exist. Since that time a number of reactions have been discovered which give excellent yields of pure aliphatic and alicyclictertiary nitro compounds; 2™ 1 1 these reactions employ mild conditions and most
