England bowler Stuart Broad struck twice as Nottinghamshire recovered from a first-innings batting collapse to leave Derbyshire reeling on 86-8.
Ben Slater scored a superb 107, putting on 163 with Joe Clarke (66), but Notts slipped from 194-2 to 256 all out.
Fynn Hudson-Prentice (4-36) and Ben Aitchison (3-27) then caused mayhem as Notts lost seven wickets for 62 runs.
But Broad removed Luis Reece and Wayne Madsen early, with Derbyshire caving in to end a manic first day on 86-8.
After Broad's impressive initial burst (2-22) and Tom Wood's run-out by Luke Fletcher, Fletcher (3-23) and Dane Paterson (2-28) ripped through Derbyshire's middle order, with only Matt Critchley (33) showing any level of resistance.
Notts had looked set for a mammoth total at The Incora County Ground despite seeing opener Haseeb Hameed depart for a duck and Ben Duckett fall for 14 off the bowling of Hudson-Prentice as they struggled to 31-2.
But Slater followed up his ton against Worcestershire with another stunning knock in a dominant third-wicket stand with Clarke.
Hudson-Prentice and Aitchison's efforts seemed to leave the match nicely poised.
But eight further wickets fell as play went on until after 19:00 BST, ending with the home side needing another 21 runs to avoid the follow-on.
