Abstract

The Michael addition of primary aliphatic nitro compounds to α, β-unsaturated enones, performed in aqueous media, provides the one-pot synthesis of 1, 4-diketones, 1, 4-diols, δ- nitroalkanols, and hydroxytetrahydrofurans, respectively, by the appropriate choice of the reaction conditions.
