Herein is reported the utilization of protected nitro ketones, in the synthesis of 1,3-, 1,4-, and 1,5-diketones, by their condensation with aldehydes then conversion of the obtained conjugated nitroalkenes into monoprotected carbonyl derivatives which, by removal of the protecting group, gives diketones.
