A control of the single/double Michael additions was achieved, which enabled the synthesis of unsymmetrical double Michael adducts. Moreover, the Michael adducts can be used as precursors of pyridine and naphthyridine frameworks.}, pages = {6522--6528}, title = {Safe cyano(nitro)methylating reagent—Michael addition of cyano-aci-nitroacetate leading to δ-functionalized α-nitronitriles}, volume = {70}, year = {2014} }
