β-Cyano-α-methylcycloalkanones are regiospecifically nitrosated at the α-position by pentyl nitrite in methanolic sodium methoxide to give fused isoxazolo-lactams via a pathway probably involving sequential cycloalkanone cleavage, isoxazole formation and lactamisation.The chamistry of some new compounds derived from the hydrocyanation products of (-)-carvone is described.
