, (2008/06/13)
A new enantioselective process is described for preparing optically active alpha-arylalkanoic acids by: (a) halogenation on the aliphatic carbon atom alpha to the ketal group, of ketals of formula STR1 in which Ar represents an aryl, optionally substituted; R represents a C1 -C4 alkyl; R1 and R2, represents a hydroxy, a O- M+, OR3 or NR4 R5 group; the carbon atoms indicated by an asterisk both simultaneously are in (R) or (S) configuration. This reaction is diastereoselective, so that a mixture of alpha-haloketals is obtained in which one of the two epimers prevails, and generally strongly prevails, over the other. (b) rearrangement of the haloketals of formula STR2 in which X is Cl, Br or I to alpha-arylalkanoic acids in a single stage or in two successive stages, by way of esters of formula STR3 The compounds (A) and (C) are all new compounds. The rearrangement step (b) may be performed under new, inventive conditions. The esters of formula (C) have pharmacological activity analogous to that of the corresponding alpha-arylalkanoic acids.

Compounds IV are resolved into the single diastereoisomeric amides d,d or 1,d, or d,1 or 1,1. Acid hydrolysis gives the optically active compound I.

A new process for the optical resolution of racemic mixtures of α-naphthyl-propionic acids of formula STR1 This process comprises reacting a racemic mixture of a compound of formula STR2 with an optically active substance of formula R4 --NH2 (III), said substance being a β-aminoalcohol, thus forming a pair of diastereoisomeric amides which are resolved into the single diastereoisomers by fractional crystallization. The obtained single diastereoisomeric amide is then hydrolyzed to give the desired optically active α-naphthyl-propionic acid of formula STR3 In the above compound I→III and VI, R1 is (C1-6)alkyl, R2 stands for hydrogen, halogen, mercapto, (C1-6)alkylthio, phenylthio, benzylthio, (C1-6)alkylsulfonyl, benzenesulfonyl, benzenesulfonyl substituted by halogen or (C1-4)alkyl, R3 is a reactive group and R4 is the residue of a primary or secondary alcohol.

The ethylene acetals of aryl α-phenylseleno- and α-phenyltelluro-ethyl ketones i, Ph, Br) and 5-bromo-6-methoxy-2-naphthyl> have been prepared in 12-83percent yields by treating the corresponding α-bromo compounds with diphenyl diselenide-sodium or diphenyl ditelluride-sodium, respectively, in tetrahydrofuran-dimethylformamide under reflux for 6-10 h, during which the bromine is substituted by the PhSe or PhTe group.This substitution is not observed when the (PhM)2-NaBH4-EtOH (M=Se, Te) system which is known as a source of PhM- anion is used.Oxidation of the acetals thus formed with an excess of meta-chloroperbenzoic acid at 20-25 deg C for 1 h affords hydroxy-ethyl 2-arylpropanoates in 56-86percent yields via aryl group migration which are hydrolysed to 2-arylpropanoic acids, some of which are pharmaceutically important compounds.Overall isolated yields of 2-arylpropanoic acids are around 30-42percent based on the starting propiophenones over 5 steps.
