SYNTHESIS WITH MANGANIC SALTS; PART III: SYNTHESIS OF 1,4-DIKETONES THROUGH MANGANIC ACETATE-MEDIATED ADDITION OF KETONE TO ISOPENTENYL SULFONES. ACETOXYLATION OF Β,Γ-UNSATURATED KETONES BY MANGANOUS AND CUPRIC ACETATES

Conditions have been found to selectively add ketones to isopentenyl sulfones.The major product, a ketone bearing a methylene group at the γ position, gave upon ozonolysis the corresponding 1,4-diketone.The usefulness of the overall process was illustrated by the efficient syntheses of jasmone and of one half of pyrenophorine.The γ-acetoxy conjugated enones that invariably formed during these additions resulted from the oxidation of an isomeric β,γ-unsaturated ketone by manganous and cupric acetates.Such an acetoxylation has been used to prepare 6β-acetoxy-cholestenone from cholesterol and also to prepare chrysanthemic acid.
