Abstract
Conjugate addition of various Grignard reagents to 1-alkyl-2-nitropyrroles and to 2- nitrothiophene has been investigated. 1-Alkyl-2-nitropyrroles undergo alkylation at 3 and 5 positions with prevalence of the latter isomer. On the contrary, in 2-nitrothiophene system, formation of the 3-isomer prevails. In both systems, a bulkier Grignard reagent favours the 5- isomer formation. This trend can be reversed increasing steric hindrance exerted by the 1- ...
