摘要:
The invention is directed to a process for reducing or reductively cleaving an organic compound susceptible to dissolving metal reduction comprising exposing the organic compound to a solution of lithium in a polyamine including at leat two amino groups, selected from the group consisting of primary and secondary amino groups and mixtures thereof, e.g. ethylenediamine and R-NH2, optionally containing a lower alkyl alcohol, wherein R is chosen from the group consisting of ethyl, propyl, and butyl, including all straight and branched chain isomers thereof, for a time sufficient to effect reduction.

摘要:
A process of preparing intermediates useful in making compounds with retinoic acid-like activity is disclosed. The intermediates are halogenated chromans and thiochromans of formula (I) shown above and are prepared by the alkylation of a phenol or thiophenol with an alkene compound (the starting materials shown in the formula above), cyclization and halogenation. In the formula the symbols have the following meanings: R1 and R2 are C1 to C4 alkyl, R3 is H or C1 to C4 alkyl, X is oxygen or sulfur, Y is a leaving group, and Z is chlorine, bromine or iodine.
