HIGH YIELD SYNTHESIS OF FILICINIC ACID, BASED ON THE POLYCHLORINATION OF 4,4-DIMETHYL-2-CYCLOHEXENONE PART II : CONVERSION OF 2,3,5,6-TETRACHLORO-4,4-DIMETHYL-2,5-CYCLOHEXADIENONE INTO FILICINIC ACID AND RELATED CYCLOHEXADIENONES

Filicinic acid (5) was prepared in 75-80percent overall yield from 4,4-dimethyl-2-cyclohexenone (1).The key intermediate, tetrachlorodienone 2, underwent facile substitution of both β-chlorine substituents by methoxide affording the bis enol ether 3 which was converted into dichlorofilicinic acid 4 in hot 85percent sulfuric acid.Monohydroxy derivatives were obtained by treatment of 2 or 3 with hydroxide.Palladium-catalysed low-pressure hydrogenation of 4 under appropiate conditions produced monochlorofilicinic acid, filicinic acid or 5-hydroxy-4,4-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione (8) with high selectivity.
