Reaktionsschritte

A 200-mL 2-necked round bottom flask was fitted with thermometer, reflux condenser, magnetic stirrer, and nitrogen bypass. The flask was charged with 4.53 g (25 mmol) of 4-nitrophenyl acetate, 2.94 g (26.25 mmol) of 1,3-cyclohexanedione, 5.69 g (56.25 mmol) of triethylamine, 0.22 g (2.5 mmol) of acetone cyanohydrin, and 60 mL of acetonitrile. The mixture was heated to reflux with stirring for 3 hr. The mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature and volatiles were removed under reduced pressure to give 20.0 g of red oil. Chromatographic separation on silica gel afforded the title product. 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ 1.99 (m, 2), 2.52 (m, 2), 2.62 (s, 3), 2.68 (m, 2).
