Abstract

In the presence of MS 4 Å in DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide), Henry reaction with various carbonyl compounds and nitroalkanes proceeded smoothly to give the corresponding β- nitroalcohol without a base catalyst. Moreover, 1, 4-additon of nitroalkane to α, β- unsaturated ketones was also performed in DMSO.
