  * A nitroalkene behaving as a Michael acceptor in the synthesis of Lycoricidine:
  * Nitroalkene acting as an activated dienophile toward butadiene in a Diels-Alder cycloaddition:
  * The synthesis of pyrrole derivatives via the Barton–Zard reaction:
  * Pericyclic reaction of a nitroalkene yielding an indole:
  * Partial hydrogenation to an alkene baring a hydroxylamine functional group:
  * Reduction to primary amines:
  * Asymmetric Stetter reaction:
