5. It is noteworthy that the Nef reaction as a tool for reactivity inversion initially was considered with acyl synthon umpolung through alkylation of AN followed by the Nef reaction. This consideration reveals AN as equivalents of the acyl anion synthon; see, for example, the review:, H. W. Pinnick, Org. React. 1990, 38, 655-792. To the best of our knowledge, the Nef reaction as a route for umpolung of AN themselves was considered for the first time in the paper:, H. W. Pinnick, Org. React. 1990, 38, 655 -792.

[5b,8,9]) were realized in non-basic solvents (such as dichloromethane or trifluoroacetic acid) or without solvent at all, and under these conditions acid catalysis for 1 to 2 tautomerization is plausible. Furthermore, aci-nitro forms may be generated from isolated nitronate salts by the action of acid, as kinetic protonation of anion A takes place at the oxygen atom.
