Water → 2-Carbobutoxyethyl-2-methyl-5-nitro-5-ethyl-1,3-dioxane

참여 물질

반응 단계

7.46 g of 2-nitro-2-ethyl-1,3-propanediol, 8.61 g of butyl levulinate, 50 mg of p-toluenesulfonic acid in 50 ml of toluene was refluxed until no more water separated. The reaction mixture was cooled, washed with 2% sodium bicarbonate and water, dried and concentrated to give 13.65 g of 2-carbobutoxyethyl-2-methyl-5-nitro-5-ethyl-1,3-dioxane as a light yellow oil. This was dissolved in 50 ml of ethanol and hydrogenated over 1 g Raney Nickel catalyst at 60 under pressure. Distillation of the crude material at 160° C./3mm gave 11 g of the product.
