Abstract

Nitroacetic acid was fused with eighteen aromatic aldehydes and gave the respective β- nitrostyrenes. It was more reactive towards aldehydes with electron-withdrawing than with electron-releasing substituents. Nitromethane adducts or nitro-olefins were formed from the reaction of enamines with nitroacetic acid. Di-(
