Under kinetic control at -78 degrees C, reactions of ketone or ester lithium enolates with (E)-beta-nitroenones 2 occurred at the carbonyl group giving (E)-3-hydroxy-5-nitroalk-4-enones 6 or (E)-3-hydroxy-5-nitroalk-4-enoates 13, respectively, with good regioselectivity. When the temperature of the reaction between 2 and lithium ketone enolates was allowed to warm up to -10 degrees C before hydrolysis, solely the 2-(nitromethyl) 1,4-diketones 8 were obtained. Steric factors which might influence the observed stereoselectivities during the nucleophilic attack on beta-nitroenones are discussed.
