反应详情

A catalytic amount of potassium fluoride is added to 2-nitropropane and methyl acrylate, and the mixture is refluxed under heating in a suitable solvent such as ethanol and the like. The reaction mixture is concentrated (or evaporated) and extracted to give methyl 4-methyl-4-nitropentanoate (Bulletin of the Chemical Society of Japan 1966, 39 (11), 2549–2551). The obtained methyl 4-methyl-4-nitropentanoate can be isolated and/or purified by a conventional method, such as distillation, chromatography and the like, but generally, can be used in the next step without isolation and/or purification.
