Abstract

Nitration of oximinocyanoacetic esters with mixed acids proceeds smoothly to give good yields of esters of dinitrocyanoacetic acid. 1 A representative group of these compounds has been prepared and characterized. Reactions of dinitrocyanoacetate esters which have been studied and the products characterized include: A. Cleavage to give dinitroacetonitrile: B. Alcoholysis to give esters of dinitroacetic acid2: C. Reduction to give esters of ...
