Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>The title reaction employs catalytic amounts of N‐heterocyclic carbene precursors and transforms a broad range of nitroalkenes, such as nitrodienes, nitroenynes, and nitrostyrenes, through reaction with a broad range of enals, into δ‐nitroesters.</p> </abstract>
