TLDR
A series of eight alkyl and aryl α-nitro ketones were prepared by the potassium dichromate oxidation of the corresponding nitro alcohols to allow for the easy isolation of pure nitroketones that are devoid of starting materials and/or other oxidation side products.
Abstract
A series of eight alkyl and aryl α-nitro ketones were prepared by the potassium dichromate oxidation of the corresponding nitro alcohols. Short reaction times allowed for the easy isolation of pure nitro ketones that are devoid of starting materials and/or other oxidation side products.

Enantio- & chemo-selective preparation of enantiomerically enriched aliphatic nitro alcohols using Candida parapsilosis ATCC 7330

TL;DR: The asymmetric reduction of aliphatic nitro ketones was carried out in water with ethanol as cosolvent and glucose as cosubstrate using the whole cells of Candida parapsilosis ATCC 7330 in much lesser time.

Oxidation of alcohols by “activated” dimethyl sulfoxide. a preparative, steric and mechanistic study

TL;DR: In this paper, the oxidation of primary, secondary, allylic, benzylic, hindered and bicyclic alcohols with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) activated by numerous electrophiles was studied: yields of carbonyls, byproducts and recovered alcohols were quantitatively determined.

Diastereoselective Synthesis of Nitroaldol Derivatives

TL;DR: In this article, three methods are described by which diastereomerically enriched nitroaldols and their O-silylated derivatives can be prepared, and the stereochemical course of the reactions leading to erythro-O-TBDMSi-nitroaldol derivatives follows topological rules of broad applicability.
