Efficient one-pot methods for the synthesis of variously functionalised conjugated nitro alkenes have been reported. Despite the utility in different fields of these compounds, only a few multi-step syntheses have been reported in the literature, giving the target compounds in low overall yields. α-Nitro acrylates or cinnamates, α-nitro α, β-unsaturated ketones and, most importantly, aromatic and heteroaromatic (E)-2-nitro allylic alcohols, compounds ...
