Vicarious nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen in nitroderivatives of five-membered heteroaromatic compounds

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0040-4020(95)00445-E

Nitro derivatives of thiophene, furan and pyrrole react with carbanions containing leaving groups giving products of replacement of hydrogen with functionalized alkyl substituents. Many specific features of this reaction are discussed.
