The one-pot synthesis of functionalized 1,4-diketones was achieved in good yields by conjugate addition of primary nitroalkanes to α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds on basic alumina without solvent, followed by in situ oxidation with 30% aqueous hydrogen peroxide in methanol. The one-pot syntheses of 1,4,7-triketones and dihydrojasmone are also reported.
