(Z)-1-Nitro-3-hexene is a versatile reagent corresponding to the (Z)-3-hexen-1-yl d1-synthon. Nitroaldol addition, oxidation and denitration are the steps of a new methodology to conveniently prepare the title compounds, which are popular intermediates in the synthesis of (Z)-jasmololone and (Z)-jasmone.
