Abstract
The reaction of primary nitroalkanes with conjugated enones, in water and i n the presence of K2CO3 as base, allows the synthesis of 2-acyl-4-nitrocycl ohexanol derivatives in which the diastereoisomer (+/-)-(1S*,2R*,5R) is hig hly pre dominant. The reaction proceeds by double Michael addition of the n itroalkane to the enone, followed by intramolecular aldol reaction. (C) 200 0 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
