Abstract

The dearomatization of conventional nitroarenes by lithiated enolates derived from methyl vinyl ketones easily takes place, following a formal (4+2) cycloaddition process. While nitroindoles react readily with in situ generated conjugated enolates, the deaggregation of these latter species using HMPA extends the reaction scope to the more aromatic nitronaphthalenes and pyridines.
