Pioneer Researcher , thanks, it is perfect.
I was hoping for fielded suggestions from the masses (as with KrZ's title), but some mod jumped right on it.
My suggestion wold have been "Kitchen-Chem Researcher Extrordinaire" but Pioneer Researcher certainly fits.

(yellium: "Syn. Comm 18(7), 693-697 (1988)", Novel Discourse), posted by Yellium - anyone knows what ever came of it? I remember someone saying that this redn was successful w/50 g 2,5-DMNS, and another one said it didn't work when he tried it. - so the question still hangs open.85%%nitropropene ->80% ketone dont think that can be beat
heh... :) Practically, it means 2 steps instead of 1...
And that means a lot (IMHO)
Also, the actual yields are usually lower that in theory. Sometimes much lower :) .
