Michael Reaction of Nitroalkanes with β-Nitroacrylates under a Solid Promoter: Advanced Regio- and Diastereoselective Synthesis of Nitro-Functionalized α,β-Unsaturated Esters and 1,3-Butadiene-2-carboxylates
of nitro‐functionalized α,β‐unsaturated esters has been prepared by a regio‐ and diastereoselectiveMichael addition of nitroalkanes to β‐nitroacrylates, performed at room temperature, under carbonate on polymer as promoter, and in the presence of ethyl acetate as eco‐friendly solvent. Moreover, by the modular choice of the reaction conditions the method allows the synthesis of 1,3‐butadiene‐2‐carboxylates
