METHOD FOR PRODUCING OPTICALLY ACTIVE 2-HYDROXY ESTER AND NOVEL INTERMEDIATE COMPOUND
-
, (2012/01/13)
Disclosed is a method for producing an optically active 2-hydroxy ester, comprising selectively esterifying one enantiomer of a racemic 2-hydroxy ester in a solvent containing a catalyst such as tetramisole or benzotetramisole, and a carboxylic acid anhydride, or a carboxylic acid anhydride and a carboxylic acid. In particular, in the case where the solvent contains a carboxylic acid anhydride, but does not contain a carboxylic acid, as the carboxylic acid anhydride, a carboxylic acid anhydride containing a tertiary or quaternary carbon atom in the a-position is used. On the other hand, in the case where the solvent contains a carboxylic acid anhydride and a carboxylic acid, as the carboxylic acid, a carboxylic acid containing a tertiary or quaternary carbon atom in the a-position is used.

(Chemical Equation Presented) An effective method for the total synthesis of 2-hydroxy-24-oxooctacosanolide, a defensive salivary secretion of the African termite Pseudacanthotermes spiniger, has been developed. The key lactonization to form a 29-membered ring lactone core is performed using 2-methyl-6- nitrobenzoic anhydride with a catalytic amount of 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine N-oxide.
