A novel method for the preparation of 2-nitroalkan-1-ols by an indium-promoted reaction of bromonitromethane with a variety of aldehydes is reported. The reaction was also performed with 2-bromo-2-nitropropanes to afford 2,2-dialkyl-2-nitroalkan-1-ols. The use of chiral sugar-derived aldehydes furnished the corresponding 2-nitroalkan-1-ols with excellent stereoselectivity. The utility of the novel
