Abstract

Abstract An efficient strategy for the mechanosynthesis of γ-nitro dicarbonyl esters has been developed. A CaCl 2-catalyzed Michael reaction, conducted at room temperature, afforded nitroalkenes from malonates in a short reaction time and in high yields. In most cases, polymerized side-reactions are eliminated or minimized.
