Procedure: 4-Nitroimidazole (0.29 moles, 32.9 g in 30 ml DMF was treated portionwise with sodium hydride (0.29 moles, 11.6 g. 60% in mineral oil) and stirred for 45 minutes. Ethyl 2-bromooctanoate (0.29 moles, 73.1 g) was added dropwise over 1 hour. The reaction was stirred overnight at room temperature, poured onto ice water, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase was washed with brine, dried and concentrated to yield 91 g of ethyl 2-(4-nitro-1H-imidazol-1-yl)octanoate. (MS) The reaction was stirred overnight at room temperature poured onto ice water extracted with ethyl acetate The organic phase was washed with brine dried concentrated

Procedure: In a 1 L three necked flask fitted with a mechanical stirrer, a thermometer, a nitrogen inlet tube and a calcium chloride drying tube, is placed a suspension of 5.75 g of sodium hydride in 250 ml of dry dimethylformamide. Dry nitrogen is let in and 69 g of ethyl propane-1,1,3-tricarboxylate (G.A. Swan, J.Chem.Sooc., 1039 (1955)) is added dropwise with vigorous stirring. The rate of addition is adjusted to maintain an internal temperature of about 25° C. The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature until all the sodium hydride has reacted. 60 g of ethyl α-bromocaprylate (K. Bernhard, Helv.Chim.Acta, 29, 1462 (1964)) are added over a period of 1 hour. After the addition has been completed, the reaction mixture is stirred at 100° C for 5 hours. The reaction mixture is cooled to 10° C and added dropwise to a well stirred suspension of 5.75 g of sodium hydride in 50 ml of pentane under nitrogen atmosphere over a period of 2 hours. When the addition is completed, the mixture is stirred at room temperature for an additional 12 hours. The solvent is removed at a reduced pressure and the residue is poured into 1500 ml of cold 5% hydrochloric acid. The organic layer is separated and the water phase is extracted with ether. The combined organic layer and the ether extract are washed with water and sodium carbonate solution and dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate. After removal of the solvent, the unreacted ethyl propane-1,1,3-tricarboxylate is distilled off at 100°-105° C/0,15 mm (16 g) and the residue is boiled for 20 hours with a mixture of 750 ml of acetic acid and 750 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid. The volatile acids are distilled off at a reduced pressure and the residue is poured onto a large excess of crushed ice. The solid product is collected on a Buchner funnel, washed repeatedly with cold water and dried. The product is recrystallized from cyclohexane-pentane to yield 21,5 g (78%) of 2-n-hexyl-3-oxo-cyclopentane-carboxylic acid melting at 73°-74° C. is added dropwise with vigorous stirring The rate of addition has reacted After the addition The reaction mixture is cooled to 10° C added dropwise to a well stirred When the addition the mixture is stirred at room temperature for an additional 12 hours The solvent is removed at a reduced pressure the residue is poured into 1500 ml of cold 5% hydrochloric acid The organic layer is separated the water phase is extracted with ether The combined organic layer and the ether extract are washed with water and sodium carbonate solution dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate After removal of the solvent the unreacted ethyl propane-1,1,3-tricarboxylate is distilled off at 100°-105° C/0,15 mm (16 g) the residue is boiled for 20 hours with a mixture of 750 ml of acetic acid and 750 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid The volatile acids are distilled off at a reduced pressure the residue is poured onto a large excess of crushed ice The solid product is collected on a Buchner funnel washed repeatedly with cold water dried The product is recrystallized from cyclohexane-pentane
