In the present review the various types of ipso-nitration reactions, in particular those advances in ipsonitration reactions that have been reported since the beginning of this century (i.e., from [2000][2001][2002][2003][2004][2005][2006][2007][2008][2009][2010][2011][2012][2013][2014][2015] are discussed. The review highlights the recent developments of the ipso-nitration reactions, a variety of the differences between traditional and modern methods for performing ipso-nitration reactions, as well as the most novel approaches to performing these reactions. In addition, the proposed mechanisms of ipso-nitration reactions are discussed.
