[1 + 1]-Condensation of 12-Oxo-Derivatives of Ricinoleic Acid Esters with Hydrazine Hydrate on the Route to Macrocycles

The reactivities of the keto analogs of methyl ricinolate and its triglyceride with hydrazine hydrate were studied. The ester was found to be inert, which made it possible to synthesize a macrocyclic azine with a side chain hydrazone moiety from a 12-oxo-derivative.

Synthesis of enantiomerically pure 2,3,4,6-tetrasubstituted tetrahydropyrans by Prins-type cyclization of methyl ricinoleate and aldehydes

The AlCl3-catalyzed Prins-type cyclization of methyl ricinoleate (1), an enantiomerically pure renewable compound, with aldehydes such as heptanal (2a), isobutyraldehyde (2b), pivaldehyde (2c) and benzaldehyde (2d) is a simple reaction for the diastereoselective synthesis of enantiomerically pure 2,3,6-trialkyl-substituted 4-chlorotetrahydropyrans. The respective 4-hydroxytetrahydropyrans are obtained e.g. with aldehydes 2a and 2d using montmorillonite KSF/O as the catalyst. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 2006.

Cleavage of Esters under Nearly Neutral Conditions at High Pressure. Chemo- and Regioselective Hydrolysis in Organic Solvents

Hydrolysis of esters proceeded at room temperature under high pressure in the presence of iPr2NEt or N-methylmorpholine using CH3CN-H2O (60:1) as the solvent.This very mild procedure enables the smooth hydrolysis of biologically important compounds such as amino esters, aliphatic unsaturated fatty esters, and β-hydroxy esters; no racemization, no isomerization, and no side reactions take place.
