Process for the preparation of bicyclic diketone salts
-
Page/Page column 4, (2008/06/13)
The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of bicyclic 1,3-diketone salts of formula I wherein R1, R2, R3 and R4 are each independently of the others hydrogen or C1-C4alkyl; A and E are each independently of the other C1-C2alkylene, which may be substituted once or up to four times by a C1-C4alkyl group, and M+ is an alkali metal ion, alkaline earth metal ion or ammonium ion, by oxidation of a compound of formula II to a compound of formula III and subsequent conversion to a compound of formula I either in the presence of a base and a catalytic amount of a cyanide or in the presence of an alkali metal alcoholate or alkaline earth metal alcoholate, and to novel bicyclic enol lactone intermediates of formula III for use in that process.

Tributyltin hydride reduction of 2-bromo- and 2-keto-bicycloheptan-3-spiro-2'-oxiranes gives ring opening of the oxirane-ringes via intermediate 3-(spiro-2'-oxiranyl)bicycloheptan-2-yl radicals, whereas reduction of the analogous 2-(thiocarbonyl)imidazolides) unusually yields the 2-methoxy derivatives and does not proceed by the expected normal fragmentation to yield 3-(spiro-2'-oxiranyl)bicycloheptan-2-yl radicals and subsequent ring-opening of the oxirane rings.
