Abstract: | Detailed experimental procedures are given for the preparation of the stereoisomeric (E)- and (Z)-methyl-α-hydroxy and α-methoxyimino-4-nitro-1H-imidazole-1-acetates and of the related acids. (Z)-Isomers have been prepared by synthesis. (E)-Isomers have been obtained only by photoisomerization. Decarboxylation of the acids left the corresponding aldehydes which are ideal compounds for structural studies and configurational assignments. |
