Description

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
