Participants

Reaction Steps

Into a mixed solution of 8 g of fuming nitric acid and 24 g of acetic anhydride, kept at a temperature of -5° to 10° C. was added dropwise 6 g of (R)-4-hydroxy-3-methyl-2-(2-propenyl)-2-cyclopenten-1-one ([α]D24 : -7.81° (C=1.07, in chloroform), (R)-isomer/(S)-isomer=77.4/22.6). Thereafter, with the same operations as in Example 1, 7.50 g of crude (R)-3-methyl-4-nitroxy-2-(2-propenyl)-2-cyclopenten-1-one was obtained.
