(E)-Enediones are valuable intermediates for the syn-thesis ofimportant molecules such as prostaglandins,* 1 rethrolones, 2 perfumes, 3 pheromones, 4 macrocycles, 5 and other natural products. Considerable attention hasbeen paid to methods for the synthesis of these compounds, in particular the ring cleavage of 2-mono or 2, 5-disub-stituted furans. This transformation can be performed by several different oxidative methods, 48· 5-11 but these methods suffer from certain drawbacks, such as regiose-lective alkylation of the furan before the ring cleavage, the use of potentially explosive reagents, severe reaction conditions, and formation of mixtures of (E)-and (Z)-isomers or exclusive formation of the (Z)-isomer, which requires a strong acid for isomerization to the (El-compound. The preparation of the (E)-enedione system via alternative methods thus is important. Nitroalkanes have proved useful in complex organic syntheses because of the many possible transformations of the nitro functionality and perhaps more importantly because of the variety of carbon—carbon bond-forming reactions that proceed under very mild conditions. 12-18 The nitroaldol (Henry) 19 reaction and its variants have been used extensively in carbon—carbon bond forma-tion. 20 Because of the mild conditions required, it is not surprising to find that this reaction has been applied broadly in the synthesis of many important mole-cules. 15· 18-30 As an extension of the nitroaldol reaction,(1)(a) Floyd,.
