, (2008/06/13)
A method of preparing certain dihalogen vinyl cyclopropane carboxylic acid esters of the formula STR1 wherein R is an alkyl moiety and X is chlorine or bromine by exposing a dihalogen vinyl dihydrofuran of the formula STR2 to light, e.g., ultraviolet light. Also disclosed is a method for preparing such 2,4,4-trimethyl-3-carbalkoxy-5-(β,β-dihalogenvinyl)-4,5-dihydrofurans by reaction of a β-alkoxycrotonic acid ester or 3,3-bisalkoxybutyric acid ester with a 1,1,1-trihalogen-4-methyl-3- or -4-pentene-2-ol in the presence of an acid catalyst. Also disclosed is a method of converting such 2,4,4-trimethyl-3-carbalkoxy-5-(β,β-dihalogenvinyl)-4,5-dihydrofuran by thermal rearrangement into 2,5,5-trimethyl-3-carbalkoxy-4-(β,β-dihalogenvinyl)-4,5-dihydrofurans. Such 2,4,4- and 2,5,5-trimethyl-3-carbalkoxy-5-(β,β-dihalogenvinyl)-4,5-dihydrofurans are new.
