Procedure: This compound was prepared according to M. E. Flaugh, T. A. Crowell, J. A. Clemens, B. D. Sawyer J. Med. Chem., 1979, 22, pp. 63-68. Acetic anhydride (8.06 g, 79.0 mmol) and NaOAc (1.45 g, 17.7 mmol) were mixed and heated. Two drops of pyridine were added. 2-nitroethanol (6.45 g, 70.8 mmol) was carefully added to the suspension at 30-35° C. during 30 min. Thereafter the mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. The next morning the mixture contained undissolved NaOAc and a new orange precipitate. The reaction mixture was taken up between CHCl3 and water, washed 1× with water, 1× with brine and dried with MgSO4. Thereafter the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure at 40° C. The remaining orange oil was co-evaporated first with chloroform and then five times with toluene and finally with chloroform to get the 6.90 g of pure compound. This compound was prepared heated washed 1× with water, 1× with brine dried with MgSO4 Thereafter the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure at 40° C

Procedure: To 40 ml of absolute ethanol was added 1.38 g (0.060 gram atom) metallic sodium. When the reaction was completed, 10.2 g (0.060 mole) of 3-acetylmercaptocycloheptene in 20 ml of absolute ethanol was added and the reaction mixture was brought up to reflux for 15 minutes. The solution was then cooled to 0° and 7.98 g (0.060 mole) of 1-nitro-2-acetoxyethane in 20 ml absolute ethanol was added. The reaction was allowed to proceed for 3.0 hours at 0° and then was partitioned between 1 N HCl and methylene chloride. The aqueous phase was further extracted with methylene chloride. The organic phases were pooled, dried over sodium sulfate, and evaporated to afford 12 g (99%) of pure 3-[2-nitroethylthio]cycloheptene as a colorless oil. to reflux for 15 minutes The solution was then cooled to 0° was partitioned between 1 N HCl and methylene chloride The aqueous phase was further extracted with methylene chloride dried over sodium sulfate evaporated
