Significance

Copper MOF 1 was prepared from Cu(NO3)2 and pyridine carboxylates, which was used for the Henry reaction of aryl aldehydes and nitroalkanes. Thus, the reaction of aryl aldehydes and nitroalkanes was performed with 1 under solvent-free conditions to give the corresponding β-nitroalcohols in 45-85% yield (5 examples).
