A metal-free, mild and chemodivergent transformation involving nitroalkanes has been developed. Under optimized reaction conditions, in the presence of trichlorosilane and a tertiary amine, aliphatic nitroalkanes were selectively converted into amines or nitriles. Furthermore, when chiral β-substituted nitro compounds were reacted, the stereochemical integrity of the stereocenter was maintained and α-functionalized nitriles were obtained with no loss of enantiomeric excess. The methodology was successfully applied to the synthesis of chiral β-cyano esters, α-aryl alkylnitriles, and TBS-protected cyanohydrins, including direct precursors of four active pharmaceutical ingredients (ibuprofen, tembamide, aegeline and denopamine).

1-Nitroalkenes are reduced in high yields at -0.3 to -0.5 V (vs.SCE) at a mercury or graphite cathode to oximes.At higher cathodic reduction potentials (-1.1 V) primary amines are selectively obtained in fair yields.Nitroalkadienes are selectively reduced at the double bond conjugated with the nitro group to either the oxime or amine.Key Words: Electrochemistry / 1-Nitroalkenes, reduction of / Oximes / Amines
