Base-catalysed condensation reactions of nitroacetic esters with dipolarophiles to give isoxazole derivatives proceed faster, and often with higher yields, in the presence of water than in organic solvents such as chloroform. Kinetic profiles show that induction times are greatly reduced

Michael addition of ethyl nitroacetate on α,β-unsaturated ketones followed by Nef oxidation under hydrolytic conditions yields γ-oxoacids instead of the corresponding α,δ-dioxoesters. A concerted decarboxylation step is proposed on the basis of computational results. Finally, conversion of the γ-ketoacids thus

DL-4,4-Difluoroglutamic acid (DL-4,4-F2Glu) and its methotrexate analogue, DL-gamma,gamma-difluoromethotrexate (DL-gamma,gamma-F2MTX), were synthesized and evaluated as alternate substrates or inhibitors of folate-dependent enzymes. Synthesis of DL-4,4-F2Glu involved the nitroaldol reaction of ethyl nitroacetate with a difluorinated aldehyde ethyl hemiacetal as a key

alpha,alpha-Diisobutylglycine has been synthesized using a Pd-mediated dialkylation of ethyl nitroacetate as a key first step. The free alphaalphaAA is N(alpha)-protected and has been applied to the assembly of conformationally constrained peptide analogues. Mixed anhydrides from BOP-Cl and Fmoc-alphaalphaAA-OH are

Ethyl nitroacetate (1) reacts with electron-poor olefins in the presence of a base to give either the Michael adducts 3 or the isoxazoline cycloadducts 4, resulting from water elimination. The proportions of the two products depend on the reaction conditions
