Nitroalkanes in Aqueous Medium as an Efficient and Eco-Friendly Source for the One-Pot Synthesis of 1,4-Diketones, 1,4-Diols, δ-Nitroalkanols, and Hydroxytetrahydrofurans

Abstract
The Michael addition of primary aliphatic nitro compounds to alpha,beta-unsaturated enones, performed in aqueous media, provides the one-pot synthesis of 1,4-diketones, 1,4-diols, delta-nitroalkanols, and hydroxytetrahydrofurans, respectively, by the appropriate choice of the reaction condition
