Synthesizing synthons : The highly enantioselective title reaction is described. It employs catalytic amounts of N‐heterocyclic carbene precursors and transforms a broad range of nitroalkenes, such as nitrodienes, nitroenynes, and nitrostyrenes, through reaction with a broad range of enals, into δ‐nitroesters via homoenolate intermediates (see scheme).
