Good stereoselectivity in the reprotonation of nitronate ions R 2 C − NO 2 is achieved, if the bis‐ ortho ‐substituted 2‐aryl‐1,10‐phenanthroline 1 is added as a buffer. Both for cyclic and acyclic nitronate ions the reaction proceeds via transition states which lead to a thermodynamically less stable product. R = H, Me, Ph.
