Abstract

Nitroalkanes have proved to be valuable intermediates. 1 Both the activating effect of the nitro group and its facile transformation into various functionalities have extended the importance of nitro compounds in the preparation of complex molecules. 2 Peculiar to aliphatic nitro compounds is the formation of new carbon-carbon single bonds, via the nitronate3 and, in specific cases, the creation of carbon-carbon double bonds through the ...
