..as read in "the Nitro Group in Organic Synthesis" page 127 the book is found here...

Note: edited by java and corrected by rhodium, should read phenylnitroethanes
I feel the need to connect this thread with the analogous one:

The allkylation mechanism is the same, but removing the –COOMe group is way easier than –SO2Ph. Not to mention that alkyl nitroacetates are way more accessible (even by simply nitrating ethylacetoacetate!).
An interesting method otherwise and potentialy useful for those that have access to such reagents.
