Abstract
Nitro compounds are an important class of organic molecules with broad application in organic synthesis, medicinal chemistry, and materials science. Among the variety of methodologies available for their synthesis, the direct oxidation of primary amines represents an attractive alternative route. Efforts towards the development of oxidative procedures for the synthesis of nitro derivatives have spanned over the past decades, leading to a wide variety of protocols for the selective oxidative conversion of amines to nitro derivatives. Methods for the synthesis of nitroarenes via oxidation of aryl amines, with particular emphasis on recent advances in the field, are summarised in this review.

Abstract
This work reports the synthesis and catalytic application of mesoporous Au-loaded Mn3 O4 nanoparticle assemblies (MNAs) with different Au contents, i. e., 0.2, 0.5 and 1 wt %, towards the selective oxidation of anilines into the corresponding nitroarenes. Among common oxidants, as well as several supported gold nanoparticle platforms, Au/Mn3 O4 MNAs containing 0.5 wt % Au with an average particle size of 3-4 nm show the best catalytic performance in the presence of tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as a mild oxidant. In all cases, the corresponding nitroarenes were isolated in high to excellent yields (85-97 %) and selectivity (>98 %) from acetonitrile or greener solvents, such as ethyl acetate, after simple flash chromatography purification. The 0.5 % Au/Mn3 O4 catalyst can be isolated and reused four times without a significant loss of its activity and can be applied successfully to a lab-scale reaction of p-toluidine (1 mmol) leading to the p-nitrotulene in 83 % yield. The presence of AuNPs on the Mn3 O4 surface enhances the catalytic activity for the formation of the desired nitroarene. A reasonable mechanism was proposed including the plausible formation of two intermediates, the corresponding N-aryl hydroxylamine and the nitrosoarene.

Abstract
Ozone is a powerful oxidant, most commonly used for oxidation of alkenes to carbonyls. The synthetic utility of other ozone-mediated reactions is hindered by its high reactivity and propensity to overoxidize organic molecules, including most solvents. This challenge can largely be mitigated by adsorbing both substrate and ozone onto silica gel, providing a solvent-free oxidation method. In this manuscript, a flow-based packed bed reactor approach is described that provides exceptional control of reaction temperature and time to achieve improved control and chemoselectivity over this challenging transformation. A powerful method to oxidize primary amines into nitroalkanes is achieved. Examples of pyridine, C-H bond, and arene oxidations are also demonstrated, confirming the system is generalizable to diverse ozone-mediated processes.

Abstract
Flow chemistry involves the use of channels or tubing to conduct a reaction in a continuous stream rather than in a flask. Flow equipment provides chemists with unique control over reaction parameters enhancing reactivity or in some cases enabling new reactions. This relatively young technology has received a remarkable amount of attention in the past decade with many reports on what can be done in flow. Until recently, however, the question, "Should we do this in flow?" has merely been an afterthought. This review introduces readers to the basic principles and fundamentals of flow chemistry and critically discusses recent flow chemistry accounts.

Abstract
Over the last two decades, flow technologies have become increasingly popular in the field of organic chemistry, offering solutions for engineering and/or chemical problems. Flow reactors enhance the mass and heat transfer, resulting in rapid reaction mixing, and enable a precise control over the reaction parameters, increasing the overall process selectivity, efficiency and safety. These features allow chemists to tackle unexploited challenges in their work, with the ultimate objective making chemistry more accessible for laboratory and industrial applications, avoiding the need to store and handle toxic, reactive and explosive reagents. This review covers some of the latest and most relevant developments in the field of continuous flow chemistry with the focus on hazardous reactions.

Abstract
The ultimate step in chloramphenicol (CAM) biosynthesis is a six-electron oxidation of an aryl-amine precursor (NH2-CAM) to the aryl-nitro group of CAM catalyzed by the non-heme diiron cluster-containing oxygenase CmlI. Upon exposure of the diferrous cluster to O2, CmlI forms a long-lived peroxo intermediate, P, which reacts with NH2-CAM to form CAM. Since P is capable of at most a two-electron oxidation, the overall reaction must occur in several steps. It is unknown whether P is the oxidant in each step or whether another oxidizing species participates in the reaction. Mass spectrometry product analysis of reactions under (18)O2 show that both oxygen atoms in the nitro function of CAM derive from O2. However, when the single-turnover reaction between (18)O2-P and NH2-CAM is carried out in an (16)O2 atmosphere, CAM nitro groups contain both (18)O and (16)O, suggesting that P can be reformed during the reaction sequence. Such reformation would require reduction by a pathway intermediate, shown here to be NH(OH)-CAM. Accordingly, the aerobic reaction of NH(OH)-CAM with diferric CmlI yields P and then CAM without an external reductant. A catalytic cycle is proposed in which NH2-CAM reacts with P to form NH(OH)-CAM and diferric CmlI. Then the NH(OH)-CAM rereduces the enzyme diiron cluster, allowing P to reform upon O2 binding, while itself being oxidized to NO-CAM. Finally, the reformed P oxidizes NO-CAM to CAM with incorporation of a second O2-derived oxygen atom. The complete six-electron oxidation requires only two exogenous electrons and could occur in one active site.
