Abstract

Nitroacetic acid and its esters can serve as useful starting points for the synthesis of many classes of substances including esters of 2-nitroalkanoic acids, nitro alcohols, nitroamines, halonitro compounds, di-and trinitro compounds, nitroacrylates, osazolidines, oxazoles, amino acids, amino alcohols, etc., Typically, the nitro compound is converted to its anion, either in situ or with prior isolation, usually as the sodium or potassium salt. The anions ...
