- A Convenient and Practical Preparation of 4-Chloromethyl-5-methyl-1,3-dioxol-2-one
-
A new synthetic method for 4-chloromethyl-5-methyl-1,3-dioxol-2-one (1c), which is useful for preparing prodrugs, has been developed.Ene-chlorination of 4,5-dimethyl-1,3-dioxol-2-one (2) with chlorine or sulfuryl chloride afforded 4-chloro-4-methyl-5-methylene-1,3-dioxolan-2-one (3) in good yield.Compound 3 underwent allylic rearrangement to afford 1c quantitatively.The overall yield of 1c from 2 was approximately 80percent.
