Synthesis of 2-nitroalkanols by Mg-Al-O-t-Bu hydrotalcite
Henry (nitroaldol) reactions were performed with Mg-Al-O-t-Bu hydrotalcite as catalyst in quantitative yields in liquid phase under mild reaction conditions at a faster rate. Exclusive synthesis of 2-nitroalkanols (3) is realised by compatible basic sites of Mg-Al-O-t-Bu hydrotalcite.
