Abstract

Treatment of secondary nitroalkanes with neat silica-supported 1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene (TBD), at room temperature, allows the direct conversion of the secondary nitro groups to the corresponding keto carbonyls.

Key words

reaction - nitroalkanes - ketones - heterogeneous catalysis - solventless conditions - SiO₂-TBD
