Analysis of the effects of various parameters on reactions of C, N, and O nucleophiles with nitroarenes reveals two major pathways: direct addition leading to substitution of hydrogen or halogens, and single electron transfer (SET) leading to other processes. In some rare cases, paramagnetic species generated by SET can combine, resulting in substitution.
