Abstract

p-Nitrobenzaldehyde reacts with some active methylene compounds in the presence of a strong base at low temperatures to give p-substituted nitrobenzenes by the two-step course involving the initial formation of the aldol adducts and the subsequent displacement of the carbinol moieties with excess carbanions.
