Beschreibung

Methyl 1-methyl-2-oxocyclopentane-1-carboxylate is an enantiomer of methyl 1-methylcyclohexane carboxylate. This compound is prepared by reduction of the corresponding aldehyde with lithium aluminum hydride, followed by cyclization with hydrochloric acid. The product is then converted to the corresponding alcohol by reaction with dimethylformamide and sodium methoxide. Methyl 1-methyl-2-oxocyclopentane-1-carboxylate has been used in the synthesis of a number of chiral secondary alcohols. The resulting diastereomers are separated using column chromatography or recrystallization to provide pure enantiomers. Voltammetry may also be used to determine the chiral purity of these compounds.
