Application

Methyl nitroacetate may be used:
  • in the preparation of aromatic and heteroaromatic linear (E)-α-nitro-arylpentenoates
  • to generate phenyliodonium ylide, used in the highly enantioselective and diastereoselective Cu(I)-catalyzed cyclopropanation of alkenes
  • in the preparation of methyl (Z)-2-nitro-3-(4-nitrophenyl)-2-propenoate, via reaction with 4-nitrobenzylideneaniline

The first electrophilic Pd(II)-catalyzed allylic C H alkylation is reported, providing a novel method for formation of sp3-sp3 C C bonds directly from C H bonds. A wide range of aromatic and heteroaromatic linear (E)-alpha-nitro-arylpentenoates are obtained as single olefin

A highly enantioselective (up to 97.5% ee) and diastereoselective (95:5 dr trans/cis) Cu(I)-catalyzed cyclopropanation of alkenes using phenyliodonium ylide generated in situ from iodosobenzene and methyl nitroacetate is reported. The cyclopropanation took place with high enantioselectivity for a wide range
