Abstract

Nitromethane reacts via a diastereoselective double Michael addition with electrophilic alkenes activated by cyano and methoxycarbonyl groups [XC6H4CH[double bond, length as m-dash]C(CN)CO2Me] in the presence of catalytic amounts of piperidine under solvent-free conditions coupled with focused microwave irradiation to afford new, highly functionalized cyclohexenes; no cyclopropane formation is observed.
