R. Ballini et al., A new, modulated, oxidative ring cleavage of alpha-nitrocycloalkanones by Oxone (R): Synthesis of alpha,omega-dicarboxylic acids and alpha,omega-dicarboxylic acid monomethyl esters (pg 1049, 1998), SYNLETT, (12), 1998, pp. 1461
By the appropriate choice of the reaction conditions Oxone(R) produces the
ring cleavage of alpha-nitrocycloalkanones affording good yields of alpha,o
mega-dicarboxylic acids and alpha,omega-dicarboxylic acid monomethyl esters
, respectively, regardless of the ring size and/or the presence of an alkyl
group as substituent.
