Potassium Fluoride/Basic Alumina as Far Superior Heterogeneous Catalyst for the Chemoselective Conjugate Addition of Nitroalkanes to Electron‐Poor Alkenes Having Two Electron‐Withdrawing Groups in α‐ and β‐Positions

The chemoselective, conjugate addition of nitroalkanes to electron‐poor alkenes, with two electron‐withdrawing groups in the α‐ and β‐positions, can be easily performed at room temperature under solventless conditions using potassium fluoride/basic alumina as heterogeneous catalyst.
