Electrochemical reduction of glutaryl dichloride at a mercury electrode in acetonitrile containing 0.1 M tetraethylammonium perchlorate results in the formation of 5-chlorovalerolactone, valerolactone, and a polymeric species.
A NEW SYNTHESIS OF CARBOXYLIC AND CARBONIC ACID ANHYDRIDES USING PHASE TRANSFER REACTIONS

Acyl chlorides and alkylchloroformates smoothly reacted with one molar equivalent of sodium hydroxide, using liquid-liquid phase transfer conditions to afford high yields of the corresponding symmetrical carboxylic and carbonic hemiester anhydrides.Unstable anhydrides such as 4-nitrobenzoic, 2-furoic and methacrylic anhydrides, which are otherwise difficult to obtain, were easily prepared by this method.The reaction mechanism does not seem to involve intermediate hydrolysis of half the acid chloride into the corresponding sodium carboxylate.

Cyclic anhydrides, key intermediates of carbon-neutral and biodegradable polyesters, are currently produced from biomass-derived dicarboxylic acids by a high-cost multistep process. We present a new high-yielding process for the direct intramolecular dehydration of dicarboxylic acids using a reusable heterogeneous Lewis acid catalyst, Nb2O5·nH2O. Various dicarboxylic acids, which can be produced by a biorefinery process, are transformed into the corresponding cyclic anhydrides as monomers for polyester production. This method is suitable for the production of renewable polyesters in a biorefinery process.
Reactions of hydrogen peroxide with acetylacetone and 2- acetylcyclopentanone

A reaction of acetylacetone with equimolar amount of concentrated aqueous H2O2 in both organic solvents (ButOH, AcOH) and water at various temperatures gave the corresponding 3,5-dihydroxy-1,2- dioxolanes with different configuration of stereogenic centers. In the pres-ence of an excess of H2O2, 3,5-dihydroxy-1,2-dioxolanes were converted to a mixture of 5-hydroperoxy-3-hydroxy-1,2-dioxolanes and further to a mixture of dimeric 1,2-dioxolan-3-ylperoxides. All the peroxides formed exist in solutions as equilibrium mixtures with the starting reagents. A prolonged reflux of solutions of 3,5-dihydroxy-1,2-dioxolanes in ButOH in the presence of a large excess of H2O2 led to the skeletal rearrangements of the substrates to a mixture of propionic acid and hydroxyacetone, which underwent further oxidative transfor-mations. Unlike acetylacetone, 2-acetylcyclopentanone reacted with H2O2 in aqueous phase or in solutions in ButOH under thermodynamic or kinetic control with the formation of the corresponding 5-hydroperoxy-3-hydroxy- 1,2-dioxolanes, rather than 3,5-dihydroxy-1,2-di-oxolanes. Thermodynamically controlled process in solution in AcOH gave a mixture of all four possible hydroperoxyhydroxy-1,2-dioxolanes. These cyclic peroxides in solutions in ButOH or AcOH readily converted to a mixture of AcOH, glutaric, α-methyladipic, and α-hydroxy-α-methyladipic acids. An active α-hydroxylation of the substrate was observed upon reflux of a solution of 2-acetylcyclopentanone and H2O2 in AcOH.
