Abstract

Thus, the easy accessibility to nitroalkanes remains an important goal, especially for those functionalized ones. 6 In this context, of great interest are the β-nitro ketones 1 because these kind of derivatives, or their protected ones, have been demonstrated to be important building blocks in organic synthesis. 7 These molecules can be obtained (Fig. 1) from three different sources: (i) by halo-nitro displacement of β-halocarbonyl derivatives 2 (way a), 8a (ii) via ...
