Summary
-
1.
It was found that partial dehydration occurred when ethyl 3-hydroxy-2-nitrobutyrate was distilled.
-
2.
The hydrogenation of 3-hydroxy-2-nitrobutyric ester and of monocyanoethylated nitroacetic ester was studied. Biscyanoethylated nitroacetic ester, subjected to hydrolysis and then decarboxylation, gave 4-nitropimelonitrile in 78% yield.
-
3.
Methyl 3-nitropropionate was prepared in 50–70% yield from 3-bromopropionic ester by Meyer's reaction.
-
4.
The condensation products formed by acetaldehyde and by acrylonitrile with methyl 3-nitropropionate and with methyl 4-nitrobutyrate were prepared.
-
5.
Triethyl 1-vitro-1,1,2-ethanetricarboxylate was prepared by the nitration of trtethyl 1,1,2-ethanetricarboxylate.
