The dealkenylative alkenylation of alkene C(sp3)−C(sp2) bonds has been an unexplored area for C−C bond formation. Herein 64 examples of β‐alkylated styrene derivatives, synthesized through the reactions of readily accessible feedstock olefins with β‐nitrostyrenes by ozone/FeII‐mediated radical substitutions, are reported. These reactions proceed with good efficiencies and high stereoselectivities under mild reaction conditions and tolerate an array of functional groups. Also demonstrated is the applicability of the strategy through several synthetic transformations of the products, as well as the syntheses of the natural product iso‐moracin and the drug (E)‐metanicotine.

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.
