A General Procedure for theOne-pot Preparation of Polyfunctionalized Nitrocyclopropanes
Publication History
Publication Date:
05 August 2003 (online)

Abstract
Nitrocyclopropane formation has been successfully carried outby reaction of bromonitromethane with electrophilic alkenes bearingtwo electron-withdrawing groups in the α- and β-positions,and in the presence of potassium carbonate as base. The method allowsgood yields and moderate to satisfactory diastereoselectivity withlinear alkenes, while shows the complete formation of the exo-product with N-alkylmaleimides.
Key words
nitrocyclopropanes - bromonitromethane - potassium carbonate - one-pot preparation - Michael reaction
