In organic chemistry, the Nef reaction is an organic reaction describing the acid hydrolysis of a salt of a primary or secondary nitroalkane (R−NO2) to an aldehyde (R−CH=O) or a ketone (R2C=O) and nitroxyl (HNO), which rapidly converts to nitrous oxide (N2O). The reaction has been the subject of several literature reviews.
