2-Nitropropane reacts with phenyllead triacetate in dimethyl sulfoxide to give 2-nitro-2-phenylpropane in good yield.This arylation of nitroalkanes has been examined with a variety of substrates and a number of aryllead triacetates, and in those cases where there was no steric hindrance the reaction was found to be quite general.Reactions of nitroethane and methyl nitroacetate, compounds with two α-hydrogens, were readily controlled to give either the mono- or di-arylated products.The corresponding nitronate salts were also examined and found to undergo the arylation reaction in similar yield but at a very much faster rate.
