Chemoselective SN2′ reaction of nitroalkanes to dialkyl 2-(bromomethyl)fumarates under cetyltrimethylammonium hydroxide (CTAOH) catalysis
摘要:
The chemoselective S(N)2' reaction of a variety of primary nitroalkanes to dialkyl 2-(bromomethyl)fumarates can be efficiently performed under cetyltrimethylammonium hydroxide (CTAOH) catalysis. The alpha, beta-unsaturated esters were obtained in satisfactory to good yields with the complete retention of the nitro group. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
