Developing an electrochemical carbon-added reaction with accelerated kinetics to replace the low-value and sluggish oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is markedly significant to pure hydrogen production. Regulating the critical steps to precisely design electrode materials to selectively synthesize targeted compounds is highly desirable. Here, inspired by the surfaced adsorbed SeOx2? promoting OER, NiSe is demonstrated to be an efficient anode enabling α-nitrotoluene electrooxidation to E-nitroethene with up to 99 % E selectivity, 89 % Faradaic efficiency, and the reaction rate of 0.25 mmol cm?2 h?1 via inhibiting side reactions for energy-saving hydrogen generation. The high performance can be associated with its in situ formed NiOOH surface layer and absorbed SeOx2? via Se leaching-oxidation during electrooxidation, and the preferential adsorption of two -NO2 groups of intermediate on NiOOH. A self-coupling of α-carbon radicals and subsequent elimination of a nitrite molecule pathway is proposed. Wide substrate scope, scale-up synthesis of E-nitroethene, and paired productions of E-nitroethene and hydrogen or N-protected aminoarenes over a bifunctional NiSe electrode highlight the promising potential. Gold also displays a similar promoting effect for α-nitrotoluene transformation like SeOx2?, rationalizing the strategy of designing materials to suppress side reactions.

The use of silyl nitronates is reported for the isothiourea-catalyzed synthesis of ?3-nitro-substituted silyl esters containing up to two contiguous stereocenters in good yields with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 93% yield and 99:1 er). The serendipitously discovered formation of silyl ester products in this reaction demonstrates a novel platform for catalyst turnover in α,β-unsaturated acyl ammonium catalysis.

1,3-Dipolar cycloadditions of 2-alkylacroleins or atropaldehyde with triisopropylsilyl nitronates bearing an α-aryl group produced 3-aryl-2-isoxazolines having a chiral quaternary center in up to 94% ee and up to 88% yield with the aid of Corey’s oxazaborolidine catalyst. Specifically, the TIPS nitronate with an α-(p-methoxyphenyl) group gave mainly the 2-isoxazolines having an all-carbon quaternary center.

We report a new method for the conversion of nitroalkanes into carboxylic acids that achieves this transformation under very mild conditions. Catalytic amounts of iodide in combination with a simple zinc catalyst are needed to give good conversions into the corresponding carboxylic acids.

supporting information; experimental part, p. 4086 - 4089 (2012/09/22)
An efficient cross-coupling reaction of aryl halides and nitromethane was developed with the use of parallel microscale experimentation. The arylnitromethane products are precursors for numerous useful synthetic products. An efficient method for their direct conversion to the corresponding oximes and aldehydes in a one-pot operation has been discovered. The process exploits inexpensive nitromethane as a carbonyl equivalent, providing a mild and convenient formylation method that is compatible with many functional groups.

Nitration of light alkanes and the alkyl side-chain of aromatic compounds with NO2 and HNO3 was successfully achieved by the use of N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) as a catalyst under relatively mild conditions. For example, the nitration of propane with NO2 catalyzed by NHPI at 100 °C for 14 h gave 2-nitropropane in good yield without formation of 1-nitropropane and cleaved products such as nitroethane and nitromethane. Various aliphatic nitroalkanes, which are difficult to prepare by conventional methods, could be selectively obtained by means of the present methodology by using NHPI as the key catalyst. In addition, the side-chain nitration of alkylbenzenes such as toluene was selectively carried out to lead to α-nitrotoluene without the ring nitration. The present reaction provides an efficient selective method for the nitration of light alkanes and alkylbenzenes, which has been very difficult to carry out so far.

(Phenylsulfonyl)nitromethane (1) is preferentially C-alkylated by benzylic halides and primary alkyl iodides, affording secondary α-nitro sulfone products. α-Nitro sulfones are also obtained from the corresponding C-alkylation of allylic acetates in the presence of catalytic tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium.The palladium(0)-catalyzed reaction is stereospecific for geranyl and neryl acetates and is also regioselective.Desulfonation of α-nitro sulfones is readily accomplished by light-induced reduction with 1-benzyl-1,4-dihydronicotinamide (BNAH).Reduction of secondary α-nitro sulfones with 20percent aqueous titanium(III) chloride affords nitriles.Oxidation with alkaline permanganate affords carboxylic acids.
