Conclusions
-
1.
The yields of acyloins in acyloin condensation reactions are quite dependent on the presence of 1,3-interactions of the side chains with the H atoms of the backbone chain of the starting dicarboxylic acid esters. Contrary to the literature data, the gem effect has a comparatively small role in this reaction.

2.
We synthesized 4-methylpimelonitrile, 5-methylazelaic acid and its dimethyl ester, and 4.8-dimethylcyclononanol-2-one.
