The title compound was prepared from 2‐nitrocyclodecanone ( 2 ). Compound 2 was treated with 2‐methylpro‐penal to give the Michael ‐addition product 3 which was reduced to the alcohol 5 and the latter ring‐enlarged with Bu 4 NF to 12‐methyl‐10‐nitro‐13‐tridecanolide ( 6 ) followed by reductive elimination of the NO 2 group by Bu 3 SnH.
