摘要:
Providing a method of preparing (3R,4R)-3-hydroxy-4-hydroxymethyl-4-butanolide conveniently and selectively from a widely available raw material in a high yield. A carbonyl group of the 2-position of levoglucosenone is reduced to obtain a hydroxyl group of a β-configuration. Then, an iodo-group of an α-configuration and an acyloxy ion of a β-configuration are introduced regioselectively and stereoselectively to the double bond at the 4-position and the 3-position of the above-mentioned levoglucosenone, respectively, keeping a trans stereochemical relationship. An alkoxide is then formed, by hydrolysis and an oxirane ring of a β-configuration is formed by removing an iodo-group by intramolecular nucleophilic displacement reaction of the alkoxide. After the hydroxyl group of the 2-position is oxidized to convert to a carbonyl group, the oxirane ring is reductively and selectively cleaved, thereby obtaining a chemical compound having no substituent at the 3-position and a hydroxyl group of a β-configuration at the 4-position. Finally a lactone of 5-membered-ring is prepared by subjecting the above-obtained compound to Baeyer-Villigar oxidation.

摘要:
Disclosed is a method of preparing a saturated monocyclic hydrocarbon compound having high optical purity and an intermediate therefor from an easily available starting material. A vinyl group is introduced to compound (6), which is synthesized from levoglucosenone to obtain compound (7). The double bond of the vinyl group of compound (7) is oxidatively cleaved and a hydroxyl group is protected to obtain compound (9). The obtained compound (9) was intramolecularly alkylated by treating with a base to give compound (10). Then, compound (10) is reduced to give compound (11). The primary hydroxyl group is selectively esterified to obtain the desired saturated monocyclic hydrocarbon compound (1).
where R¹, R², and R³ are an alkyl group and an X² group is a leaving group which is possible to remove as OX².
