A Short, Efficient, Highly Selective Synthesis of (1R,3S)-cis-Chrysanthemic Acid through the Microbiological Reduction of 2,2,5,5-Tetramethyl-1,4-cyclohexanedione

A highly selective synthesis of (1R,3S)-cis-chrysanthemic acid (1a), a key intermediate in the industrial prepariation of major unnatural pyrethrinoid-type insecticides is reported. 2,2,5,5-Tetramethyl-1,4-cyclohexanedi

SYNTHESE DE L'ACIDE CIS CHRYSANTHEMIQUE

A simple, efficient approach of racemic cis chrysanthemic acid 2, an intermediate in the synthesis of the exceptionally potent insecticide Deltamethrine 1, is described.The key-intermediate of this approach was the 2,2,5,5-tetramethylcyclohexane 1,4-dione 5 which has been related to the lactone 3, a precursor of 2, in four steps (70 percent overall yield).

SUBSTITUTED 7,7',8,8'-TETRACYANOQUINODIMETHANES. I. METHODS OF SYNTHESIS OF SUBSTITUTED 7,7',8,8'-TETRACYANOQUINODIMETHANES

The synthesis of 2-methyl-, 2,5-dimethyl-, and 2-isopropyl-7,7'-8,8'-tetracyanoquinodimethanes was realized from 2-methyl-, 2,5-dimethyl-, and 2-isopropyl-1,4-cyclohexanediones.These cyclic diketones are obtained with good yields by the Birch reduction of 2-chloromethyl-, 2,5-dichloromethyl-, and 2-isopropyl-1,4-dimethoxybenzenes.
