One-pot synthesis of the hydroximoyl chlorides and [3.3.0] bicyclic compounds from the reactions of β-nitrostyrenes with stabilized nucleophiles

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4020(98)00883-7

β-Nitrostyrenes 1 react with various stabilized nucleophiles to generate hydroximoyl chlorides and nitroalkanes after workup with ice cold concentrated hydrochloric acid. One-pot synthesis of bicyclic products from the Michael addition of different nucleophiles with β-nitrostyrenes 1 is reported.
