Abstract
Abstract Reactions of ( E )-β-nitrostyrenes 1 with triethylaluminum (Et 3 Al) 2 and alkyl iodide (RI) 3 , 4 , or 5 in the presence of benzoyl peroxide in diethyl ether solution at room temperature to give 60–100% of the different ( E )-alkenes 6 , 7 , or 8 . Under similar conditions, 95% of 1-adamantyl-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethene 10 or 80% of 1-(4-oxoadamantyl)-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethene 12 also can be easily prepared by using 1-iodoadamantane 9 or 5-iodo-2-adamantanone 11 and 2 .
