Allyl nitroacetates undergo decarboxylative allylation to provide tertiary nitroalkanes in high yield. Moreover, the transformations are complete within several minutes under ambient conditions. High yields result because O-allylation of the intermediate nitronates, which is typically problematic, is reversible under conditions of the decarboxylative allylation process. Lastly, the preparation of substrate allyl nitroacetates by tandem Knoevenagel/Diels-Alder sequences allows the facile synthesi ...[more]
