A protocol was developed for the synthesis of 2,3-dihydrofurans by reductive denitrogenation/ring contraction of cyclic nitronates. Cheap Raney nickel was used as both catalyst and stoichiometric agent, eliminating the need for high-pressure equipment. The products were obtained in high purity and often didn't require column chromatography. Studies on substrate scope, functional group tolerance, and mechanism were conducted. This approach provides a straightforward two-step access to densely substituted 2,3-dihydrofurans from nitrostyrenes and alkenes.
