Reaction Steps

21.9 g of cyclohexanone are left to stand together with 175 ml of nitromethane and 2.1 g of 5-diazabicyclo-[4.3.0.]non-5-ene (DBN) in 250 ml of isopropanol at room temperature for 2 days The working up is carried out in analogy to the procedure for Example 1 and provides 37.2 g (100% of theory) of 3-(nitromethyl)cyclohexanone which is pure enough for the next reaction.
