Abstract
A new, simple, cheap, and practical procedure for the direct transform ation of alpha,beta-unsaturated nitroalkenes into ketones has been rea lized by the NaBH4/H2O2 system. By this method, other functional group s such as C-C double bonds, ketals or aromatic nitro groups were prese rved. Application of this methodology to the preparation of 4-oxoalkan oic acids, dihydrojasmone, and (+/-)-exo-brevicomin is also reported.
