Abstract

1-8-Diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene(DBU)‐catalyzed Michael addition of nitroalkanes to dicyclopentadienone (1) followed by flash vacuum pyrolysis (FVP) provided a high‐yielding synthesis of extremely pure 4‐nitroalkyl cyclopentenones (3). The optimized Nef reaction of the nitro adducts (2) provided 4‐ketoalkyl cyclopentenones (5) in the similar way.
