Conjugated nitrosoalkenes as Michael acceptors in carbon–carbon bond forming reactions: a review and perspective (Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry)

Abstract Despite of their chemical instability and high reactivity, conjugated nitrosoalkenes are useful intermediates in target-oriented organic synthesis. The present review deals with carbon–carbon bond forming reactions involving Michael addition to α-nitrosoalkenes with a particular focus on recent developments in this methodology and its use in total synthesis.
