โฆ Synopsis
Our interest in the intramolecular cycloaddition of nitrile oxides with olefins as a tool for natural product synthesis prompts this report of a simple one-pot synthesis of nitroalkanes from aldehydes. Nitroalkanes are useful precursors to these dipolar intermediates.
1 Further, the considerable progress in synthetic methodologies for the conversion of a nitro functional group to other functionality under mild conditions, particularly the carbonyl' and amino3 groups, suggests that formation of nitroalkanes will become increasingly more important. Methods which proceed under conditions generally suitable to complex natural product synthesis will be especially useful. 4
Nitroalkanes are readily deprotonated to their nitronates 1; 1,2 however, these reagents

It has been shown recently 1.2 that photochemically generated benzophenone ketyl radicals can function efficiently as reducing agents for a-diketones. It has also been demonstrated3 that such ketyl radicals can be formed by thermal cleavage of benzpinacol. Combination of these two observations has
