Description

Application

Nitromethane may be employed in the preparation of cobalt cage complexes.[1]

General description

Nitromethane is an aliphatic nitro compound.[2] It undergoes Michael addition reaction with chalcones in the presence of cinchona alkaloid-derived chiral bifunctional thiourea organocatalyst.[3] Its conversion to N₂ in the presence of Co-ZSM5 (Zeolite Socony Mobil-5) has been studied.[4]
