In this video I carry out the prep of beta-nitrostyrene from benzaldehyde and nitromethane as described in Vogels Textbook of Practical Organic Chemistry, 5th Edition, page 1035. This type of reaction is called a Henry Reaction and it has great synthetic utility as a carbon-carbon bond forming reaction. This kind of reaction featured heavily in the various synthetic procedures given in PIHKAL although I should stress that beta-nitrostyrene itself is neither listed nor controlled and can't be used to make any controlled substance that I am aware of (not easily anyways).
