Procedure: The title compound was prepared according to the procedure described in Example 2 using 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde, 1-iodopentane and 2-methyl-2-nitropropane. The title compound was isolated in 75% overall yield as a solid, m.p. 43.2° C. The title compound was prepared

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: The title compound was prepared according to the procedure described in Example 2 using 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde, 1-iodoheptane and 2-methyl-2-nitropropane. The title compound was isolated in 60% overall yield as a solid, m.p. 68.5° C. The title compound was prepared

Procedure: A suspension of 2,5-difluorobenzaldehyde (291.5 mg, 2.05 mmol), 2-methyl-2-nitropropane (427.3 mg, 4.14 mmol) and zinc (407.3 mg, 6.23 mmol) in ethanol (5 ml) was cooled to 0° C. in ice-water bath. Acetic acid (0.69 ml, 12.0 mmol) was added dropwise to the mixture. The mixture was gradually warmed to room temperature, stirred for 2 hours and let stand overnight. The mixture was filtered through Celite® bed and the filtrate was concentrated and purified by silica gel chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=10/1) to give the title compound (393 mg; 90%). let stand overnight The mixture was filtered through Celite® bed the filtrate was concentrated purified by silica gel chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=10/1)

Conditions: temp:5.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: To a suspension of cinnamaldehyde (769.8 mg, 5.82 mmol), 1,1-dimethylnitroethane (1.20 g, 11.6 mmol) and zinc (1.14 g, 17.4 mmol) in ethanol (30 ml) was added acetic acid (2.10 g, 35.0 mmol) dropwise at 5° C. while stirring. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours and let stand for 6 days. After cooling the mixture to 5° C., zinc acetate was filtered off and the filtrate was concentrated and purified by silica gel chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=1/1-0/1). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours zinc acetate was filtered off the filtrate was concentrated purified by silica gel chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=1/1-0/1)
