Abstract: The release of repulsive interactions of steric and/or stereoelectronic nature and the onset of a new extended and effective conjugation concur to an unprecedented and synthetically appealing shift of a nitro group from the β- to the α-position with respect to the aryl group of a styrene moiety.
