One-pot synthesis of 1 ,3-dinitroalkanes catalysed by nickel species

The reaction of aromatic aldehydes with nitromethane afforded a one-pot preparation of 1,3-dinitroalkanes in the presence of a nickel catalytic system. This efficient and simple method proceeded with moderate to high yields (56-99%) under mild conditions.

Heterogeneous catalysts in the preparation of 2-aryl-1,3-dinitropropanes from β-nitrostyrenes or benzaldehydes

The use of heterogeneous basic catalysts (KF, NaHCO3) in the preparation of 2-Aryl-1,3-dinitropropanes from β-nitrostyrenes or benzaldehydes is described, with one example followed kinetically by HPLC analysis of aliquots of the reaction.
