Diethyl aluminum cyanide → 2-(6'-Carbethoxyhexyl)-3-cyano-4-acetoxy-2-cyclopenten-1-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

According to the procedure similar to that of Step 3 (a) of Example 1, 0.52 g of 2-(6'-carbethoxyhexyl)-3-methoxy-4-acetoxy-2-cyclopenten-1-one prepared in Step 2 was caused to react with diethylaluminum cyanide. Further, the product was purified using chromatography on silica gel to provide 0.25 g of 2-(6'-carbethoxyhexyl)-3-cyano-4-acetoxy-2-cyclopenten-1-one as an oily material.
