ChemInform Abstract

The first synthesis of the bisbenzanellated spiro system (VIII) is presented using a novel Nef-type reaction of conjugated nitroalkene (VII) mediated by Pearlman′s catalyst. Precursor (VII) is prepared from readily synthesized starting materials using Henry condensations of aldehydes with nitroalkanes.
