Abstract
alpha,omega-Dicarboxylic acid dimethyl esters are easily obtained by r ing cleavage of alpha-nitrocycloalkanones. Thus, reaction of the latte r compounds with three equivalents of potassium persulfate, in methano l and in presence of sulfuric acid at 80 degrees C, provides alpha,ome ga-dicarboxylic acid dimethyl esters in high yields. Long-chain, and a lkylated alpha,omega-dicarboxylic acid dimethyl esters can be also eff iciently obtained. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
