Abstract

Sir: A number of simple and effective procedures are now available for the synthesis of tertiary nitroparaffins. 2-12 Most of them are carbon-carbon bond forming processes, and they enable one to prepare highly branched compounds which are virtually unobtainable by other means. Another attractive feature of these reactions is their capability for providing tertiary nitro compounds in which other functional groups are present, eg, keto, ester, and ...
