No catalyst is needed for the novel vinylic CC coupling reaction of 2‐aryl‐1‐nitroalkenes with dialkylzinc compounds [Eq. (a)]. Although NO 2 substituents usually activate double bonds for Michael additions, replacement of the NO 2 group with an alkyl group provides ( E )‐1‐aryl‐ and ( E ) ‐1‐heteroaryl‐1‐alkenes in yields up to 40%, which can probably still be optimized.
