The 1,4-addition of Grignard reagents to β-nitrostyrene to give 1,1-diaryl-2-nitroethanes and their subsequent conversion via a modified Nef reaction into 1,1-diaryl-2,2-dimethoxyethanes (diarylacetaldehyde dimethyl acetals) is described.The scope of the reaction has been briefly explored and one example demonstrated on a large scale.
