Nitroalkenes were prepared by the substitution reaction of β-nitro-vinyl sulfides and sulfoxides [1-ethylsulfinyl-2-nitrocyclohex-1-ene, -cyclohept-1-ene, and (E)-2-ethylsulfinyl-1-nitroprop-1-ene] with a variety of carbon nucleophiles (i. e. alkylmetal reagents and enolates of carbonyl compounds), via an addition-elimination sequence. The sulfoxide as a leaving group was suitable for the reaction with an enolate of carbonyl compounds. This method was useful for the synthesis of nitroalkenes [2-nitrocyclohex-1-enyl(hept-1-enyl)- and 2-nitro-1-methylvinyl-substituted cyclohexanone, γ-butyrolactones, δ-valerolactones, 2-pyrrolidinones and piperidinones].
