Abstract/Summary

This paper describes the use of bifunctional thiourea catalysts in the intramolecular reaction of a nitronate with conjugated ketones to generate the corresponding γ-nitroketones. In contrast to our previous studies in this area, we obtained the cis-functionalized systems as the major diastereoisomers in good yields and reasonable selectivities.
