2-Nitro-1-Phenylpropene is a chemical compound .It can be produced by the
reaction of benzaldehyde and nitroethane in the presence of a basic catalyst.
In this reaction, the base deprotonates nitroethane to form a resonance
stabilized anion. This anion nucleophilically adds to the aldehyde forming a
beta nitro alcohol, which is subsequently dehydrated to yield the nitroalkene.
This reaction is known as a nitroaldol reaction. Phenyl-2-nitropropene can be
reduced in the presence of a catalyst to produce phenylacetone, which is a
controlled precursor of methamphetamine. However, with lithium aluminium
hydride it can simply be reduced to directly form amphetamine in moderate
yields.
