A NEW, MODULATED, OXIDATIVE RING-CLEAVAGE OF ALPHA-NITROCYCLOALKANONES BY OXONE(R) - SYNTHESIS OF ALPHA,OMEGA-DICARBOXYLIC ACIDS AND ALPHA,OMEGA-DICARBOXYIIC ACID MONOMETHYL ESTERS
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-DICARBOXYIIC ACID MONOMETHYL ESTERS, Synlett, (10), 1998, pp. 1049
By the appropriate choice of the reaction conditions Oxone(R) produces
the ring cleavage of alpha-nitrocycloalkanones affording good yields
of alpha,omega-dicarboxylic acids and alpha,omega-dicarboxylic acid mo
nomethyl esters, respectively, regardless the ring size and/or the pre
sence of an alkyl group as substituent.
