Reaction Steps

A mixture of 490 mg (2.70 mmoles) of cyanoester 5 (produced in accordance with Example V), 0.25 mL (2.78 mmoles) of 2-nitropropane, and 4.0 mL of an 0.65M solution of sodium ethoxide (prepared from sodium metal and ethyl alcohol) in absolute ethyl alcohol was heated at reflux, protected from atmospheric moisture, for 31/2 hours. The product was isolated as described in the procedure of Example VIII, affording 575 mg (95% yield) of cyclopropanoid cyanoester 14: bp 80°-102° C. (bath temperature, 0.05 mm).
