Structurally diverse carbocycles with two vicinal nitrogen-substituents were prepared in expedient three-component reactions from simple amines, aldehydes, and nitroalkenes. trans, trans-6-Nitrocyclohex-2-enyl amines were obtained in a one-pot domino reaction involving condensation, tautomerisation, conjugate addition, and nitro-Mannich cyclisation. Upon employment of less nucleophilic carboxamides, a concerted Diels-Alder cycloaddition mechanism operated to give the corresponding cis, trans-nitrocyclohexenyl amides. Both types of substituted carbocycles offer ample opportunities for chemical manipulations at the core and periphery. Ring oxidation with MnO2 affords substituted nitroarenes. Reduction with Zn/HCl provides access to various trans-and cis-diaminocyclohexenes, respectively, in a straight-forward manner. With enantiopure secondary amines, a two-step synthesis of chiral nitrocyclohexadienes was developed (82-94% ee).
