摘要:
A new enantioselective process is described for preparing optically active alpha-arylalkanoic acids by:(a) halogenation on the aliphatic carbon atom alpha to the ketal group, of ketals of formula ##STR1## in which Ar represents an aryl, optionally substituted;R represents a C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl;R.sub.1 and R.sub.2, represents a hydroxy, a O.sup.- M.sup.+, OR.sub.3 or NR.sub.4 R.sub.5 group;the carbon atoms indicated by an asterisk both simultaneously are in (R) or (S) configuration. This reaction is diastereoselective, so that a mixture of alpha-haloketals is obtained in which one of the two epimers prevails, and generally strongly prevails, over the other.(b) rearrangement of the haloketals of formula ##STR2## in which X is Cl, Br or I to alpha-arylalkanoic acids in a single stage or in two successive stages, by way of esters of formula ##STR3## The compounds (A) and (C) are all new compounds. The rearrangement step (b) may be performed under new, inventive conditions.The esters of formula (C) have pharmacological activity analogous to that of the corresponding alpha-arylalkanoic acids.
摘要:
Alpha-alkyl-alkanoic acids are prepared by heating at boiling temperature a mixture of an alpha-halogen-alkyl-arylketone in a saturated aliphatic diol or in a mixture of saturated aliphatic diols in the presence of a Broensted's acid and by successively alkalifying the reaction mixture.
摘要:
Process for preparing esters of 2-(6'-methoxy-2'-naphtyl)-propionic acid via rearrangement of new ketals of 2-halo-1-(6'-methoxy-2'-naphtyl)-propan-1-one in the presence of a Lewis acid.The esters thus obtained are useful as intermediate products for preparing Naproxen.The process involves the preparation of the following new compounds:ketals of 2-halo-1-(6'-methoxy-2'-naphtyl)-propan-1-oneesters of 2-(5'-bromo-6'-methoxy-2'-naphtyl)-propionic acid1-(5'-bromo-6'-methoxy-2'-naphtyl)-propan-1-one2-halo-(5'-bromo-6'-methoxy-2'-naphtyl)-propan-1-one.
摘要:
Process for preparing esters of aryl alkanoic acids via oxidation of the corresponding ketones with bromine or iodine in the presence of a metal halide and an alcohol.The thus obtained esters are then easily hydrolized to give the corresponding aryl alkanoic acids which are particularly useful as anti-inflammatory, analgesic and anti-pyretic agents.
