The spin-spin coupling constants (3)J(C,H) between the hydrogen atom of the aldonitrone group and the carbon atom bound to the nitrogen atom of the N-oxide fragment were determined for a wide range of cyclic and acyclic aldonitrones. Based on comparison of these constants (trans-(3)J(C,H) (E isomer) > cis-(3)J(C,H) (Z isomer)), the Z configuration was assigned to acyclic nitrones. Coordination of organolithium compounds to the oxygen atom of the N-->O group was revealed by C-13 NMR spectroscopy. This coordination is the necessary condition for the metallation of aldonitrones. The configuration of the nitrone group is responsible for the ability of the E form of acyclic aldonitrones to undergo CD3ONa-catalyzed isotope exchange of the methine proton in CD3OD and metallation with (BuLi)-Li-s.

methodology for the synthesis of nitrones via palladium-catalyzed redox cross-coupling of nitro compounds and alcohols is established. The protocol is a mild, convenient, ligand-free, and scalable synthesis method that can be compatible with various nitro compounds and alcohols. Nitrone is a significant multifunctional platform synthon which can be synthesized directly and efficiently via this tactic from
