(Chemical Equation Presented) Aliphatic aldehydes were reacted with nitro alkanes in the presence of catalytic amounts of piperidine over 4 A molecular sieves. Simply by changing reaction conditions (solvent and temperature) it is possible to control the stereochemical outcome of the reactions, obtaining pure (E)- and (Z)-nitro alkenes in high to excellent yields. The role of molecular sieves on the stereochemical control seems crucial in addition to that of piperidine, especially for the synthesis of the Z isomer.

erythro-Selective conjugate addition of benzeneselenol to (E)-nitroalkenes and subsequent syn-elimination of benzeneselenenic acid provide a new method for the conversion of (E)-nitroalkenes into (Z)-nitroalkenes.
