Abstract: Ethyl α-nitro-β-trifluoromethyl acrylate was synthesized by nucleophile-catalyzed reaction of ethyl nitroacetate with excess trifluoroacetaldehyde methyl hemiacetal and subsequent dehydration of the intermediate alcohol with P2O5. The synthesized nitro olefin regioselectively reacts with the substituted indoles… read more here.
