Growth of (e)-(3-chloro-2-nitroprop-1-enyl)benzene using Nitro Olefin derivatives Crystal

For the first time Baylis–Hillman adducts derived from nitro olefins have been conveniently transformed into a novel class of building blocks, (E)-(3-chloro-2-nitroprop-1-enyl)benzene. The large second order optical nonlinearities, short transparency cut-off wavelength and stable physiochemical performance, which are needed in the realization of most of the recent electronic applications, are also considered in the present study.
