Synthesis of C αα -Unsymmetrically Disubstituted Nitroesters by Electron Transfer C-Alkylation of Ethyl 2-Nitropropionate Anion.-The anion generated from nitro compound (I) reacts with various reductive alkylating agents by S RN 1 mechanism to give C-alkylated products in good yields. The application of the new title nitroesters of type (III) as precursors for amino acids is demonstrated for (IIIa). -(BERAUD, V.; PERFETTI, P.; PFISTER, C.; KAAFARANI, M.; VANELLE, P.; CROZET, M.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
