Although aliphatic nitro compounds have been the subject of many excellent investigations theystill present a number of problems of theoreti-cal interest. Little is known about the factors that influence the sta-bility of the aci forms and the manner in which these pass into true nitro compounds, the extent to which the nitro and iso-nitro groups are modified by conjugation with ethylenic linkages, the intimate structure of nitro and iso-nitro groups. Since the life of the aci forms ofsimple nitro com-pounds is short, we have studied a number of phenylated derivatives in the expectation that the saturated representatives would be more tractable than the simpler compounds which have been studied heretofore, and that a comparison between the unsaturated members and the correspondingly phenylated carbonyl compounds would be instructive. Our starting materials were nitro styrene and nitro stilbene. Owing to the ease with which it polymerizes, the former proved comparatively useless for our purpose, but the latter enabled us to prepare and study still more highly phenylated saturated and unsaturated nitro compounds. It reacts with phenyl magnesium bromide as readily as does the corre-sponding unsaturated ketone—benzaldesoxybenzoin—and like the un-saturated ketone it forms, apparently exclusively, a 1, 4-addition product
