General. Experimental methods: All solvents were distilled prior to use by common laboratory methods. All reagents purchased from commercial sources were used without further purification. Thin-layer chromatography was performed on precoated silica gel plates (SIL G/UV254, Macherey-Nagel GmbH & Co. KG). Silica gel 60 (0.032–0.064 mm) (Merck) was used for column chromatography. Vanillin in methanolic sulphuric acid was used as the staining reagent for TLC. 1H and

C NMR spectra were recorded with a Varian Mercury-300, Unity-

300 and Inova-500 spectrometer and a Bruker AMX-300 spectrometer in CDCl3; chemical shifts are given in δ (ppm) relative to tetramethylsilane (TMS), coupling constants J in Hertz. The multiplicities of first order were assigned as: s (singlet), d (doublet), t (triplet), q (quartet), dd (doublet of doublets), etc. Signals of higher orders were assigned as: m (multiplet) or mc (centred multiplet).IR spectra were recorded with a Bruker Vector 22 spectrometer. Liquids were gauged on NaCl plates and solids in a KBr matrix. UV spectra were recorded with a Perkin-Elmer Lambda 2 spectrometer. Mass-spectra were measured with a Finnigan MAT 95 and a Bruker Daltronik Apex IV. Optical Rotations were measured on a PerkinElmer 241 polarimeter in the solvent indicated.

Advice: Due to the low molecular weight and the relatively high vapour pressure of the products it is recommended to remove the solvents carefully and to avoid too low pressures.

Nitroacetone (7) Nitromethane (5.00 mL, 36.5 mmol, 4.70 equiv.) was added dropwise to a solution of KOtBu (870 mg, 7.77 mmol, 1.00 equiv.) in abs. THF (20 mL) at rt. The mixture

was cooled to 0 °C and a solution of N-acetylimidazole (850 mg, 7.77 mmol,

NO2

1.00 Äq.) in THF (20 mL) was added over a period of 10 min. After stirring for 12 h

at rt the formed nitronate salt was filtered off, washed with Et2O (200 mL) and dissolved in H2O (200 mL). The aqueous solution was acidified with conc. HCl to pH 3 and extracted with CH2Cl2 (3 × 30 mL). The combined organic phases were dried over MgSO4 and concentrated to 60 mL at 30 °C under reduced pressure. Due to the danger of explosion of the nitronate salt and the product the compounds were always kept in solution or under supernatant. The yield (700 mg, 6.79 mmol, 87 %) was determined via an aliquot of 1 mL. 1H-NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 2.33 (s, 3 H, CH3), 5.30 (s, 2 H, CH2).13C-NMR (75.5 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 27.38 (C-3), 83.67 (C-1), 193.65 (C-2).

Domino Knoevenagel-hetero-Diels-Alder reaction: General procedure A mixture of the nitroacetone solution (5 mL), the alkyl vinyl ether (20 equiv.), and formaline solution (30 % in H2O, 2.0 equiv.) was heated to 80 °C for 3 h in a pressure flask. After cooling to rt the reaction mixture was washed with 5 % aq. NaHCO3 (10 mL) and the aqueous phase was extracted with CH2Cl2 (3 × 15 mL). The combined organic phases were dried over MgSO4 and the solvent was removed at rt under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography (SiO2, n-pentane/ethyl acetate 9:1) to give the dihydropyrane as a colourless liquid and solids, respectively.
