title: A general one-step synthesis of beta-nitronitriles.
abstract: The unusual beta-nitronitrile functionality was prepared by a simple one-step hydrocyanation of nitroalkenes. These compounds were shown to be precursors to monoprotected 1,3-diamines and 1,3-amino alcohols through the in situ formation of an alpha-cyano-aldenyde.
