An efficient method for the synthesis of novel 2-methylthio-2-alkyl/ar
yl-1-nitroethylenes 2 has been developed via conjugate addition-elimin
ation of organocopper reagents to nitroketene dithioacetal 1 in the pr
esence of TMSCl. The product nitroethylenes 2 have been further utiliz
ed for the synthesis of substituted 3-nitro-2-alkyl/arylpyrroles 5 by
their reaction with aminoacetaldehyde dimethylacetal followed by acid
catalyzed cyclization in ethereal HCl. The reaction of 2 with propargy
l alcohol has also been investigated (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. Al
