Abstract

The conjugate addition nitro-Mannich reactions of ethyl-β-nitroacrylate (1) and β-nitrostyrene (2) with electron rich aromatic nucleophiles, stabilized carbanions, alcohols, amines, thiols, and diphenyl phosphine oxide were investigated. The one pot conjugate addition nitro-Mannich reaction was unsuccessful except for the addition of alkoxides to 2 in alcohol as solvent. Isolation of the conjugate addition products followed by deprotonation with nBuLi and treatment with a simple imine in the presence of TFA led to β-nitroamine derived products. Products derived from 1 spontaneously cyclised in only a few examples and on the whole led to inherently unstable products. Products derived from 2 were isolated as their trifluoroacetamides, gave good yields of single diastereoisomers for aromatic and alkoxide nucleophiles and the structures were verified by single crystal X-ray crystallography. Products derived from amine nucleophiles were isolated in low yields while sulfur nucleophiles gave poor diastereoselectivities.
