Reaction Steps

A mixture of 576 mg (2.68 mmoles) of (E)-ethyl 2-cyano-3-(p-methylphenyl)-2-propenoate (7) [prepared from ethyl cyanoacetate and p-tolualdehyde (p-methylbenzaldehyde) using the procedure described in Example I for an analogous cyanoester], 0.25 ml (2.78 mmoles) of 2-nitropropane, 398 mg (2.88 mmoles) of anhydrous potassium carbonate, and 2.0 ml of absolute ethanol was heated at reflux for 7 hours. The product was isolated as described in the procedure of Example VIII, affording 511 mg (74% yield) of cyclopropanoid cyanoester 15: bp: 155°-183° C. (bath temperature, 0.15 mm).
