Procedimiento

7.0 g of nitromethane and 3.3 mL of DBU (1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undece-7-en) were added to the DMSO solution of α,β-unsaturated ester VII. The reaction mixture was stirred until complete conversion was detected by GC. 20 mL of CH2Cl2 were added and the resulting mixture was washed with 2×20 mL of 1M aqueous H2SO4 and 1×20 mL of 0.5M aqueous NaHCO3. The organic layer was dried and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. 3.6 g of γ-nitroester VIII were obtained (yield over two steps: 75%).
