Solvent-free, anti-Michael addition of active methylene derivatives to β-nitroacrylates: Eco-friendly, chemoselective synthesis of polyfunctionalized nitroalkanes

Article abstract of DOI:10.1055/s-0028-1087515

The chemoselective, anti-Michael addition of active methylene derivatives to β-nitroacrylates can be easily performed at room temperature, under solvent-free conditions, using a catalytic amount of potassium carbonate as heterogeneous catalyst. Georg Thie
