Abstract

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE:

A process for the preparation of a triester of the formula:

wherein R is an alkyl radical of from 1 to 5 carbon atoms consisting of reacting a ?-halo-epoxide of the formula

Description

The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of tri-esters of formula:
OCOR OCOR
H ______\ \
C C H
H /
OCOR
wherein R is an alkyl radical of from 1 to 5 carbon atoms and to the so obtained products !
The products according to the invention are useful ` 10 as intermediates for some organic synthesis, such as for example the preparation of~ -hydroxy-aldehydes or -ketones, -acyloxy (or aroyloxy)-aldehydes or -ketones, or ~-hydroxy-aminoacids.
- The process according to the invention consists in reacting q-halo-epoxides of the formula:
. H O Y
\~y H H
wherein: .
Y i8 an halogen atom, with an anhydride of a carboxylic acid RCOOH, wherein R has the above meaning, in the presence of Lewis acids, and, preferably, in a second stage, with .
an alkaline or alkaline-earth metal salt of that RCOOH acid.
More particularly, the reaction of the halo-epoxide with the anhydride is carried out at a temperature ranging from -30 to ~70C at such a pressure as to maintain the mixture in the liquid phase, possibly in the presence of a suitable solvent, selected among the aroma~c'compounds preferably among the nitro- or halo-aromatic compounds, and -. the subsequent reaction with the salt is carried out at a .

'~ ' ` . ' : -' '1. ' ~ :- ' ~0 49 03U6 temperature ranging from +25 to ~180C~ the other condltions remaining unchanged. --~ he ln~ention will be now better under~tood withreference to the following non-restrlctl~e e~ample.
EX~æ
Preparation o~ 1.1.2-triacetoxy-ethane from monochloroeth,~lene oxide To 5.27 g (67.2 mmoles) of monochloroethylene oside were added 40 ml of acetic anh~dride and 0.22 g of anh~drous rerric chloride. ~he mixture ~a8 stirred ior one hour at room temperature under a nltrogen atmosphere. ~hen 5.51 g (67.2 mmoles) Or anhydrous sodium acetate were added, ana, ~tlll under nitrogen, the reaction mi%ture stirred for a further 60 hour~ at room temperature and iinally was re n used ror further 48 hours.
lhe rea¢tion misture, ¢ooled to room temperature, was diluted with 100 ml of methylene chloride. ~he precipitated salts were remo~ed b~ ~iltratinni the precipitate w w hed ~lth meth~lone ohloride and the collected riltrates were dried unaer ~acuum on a rotating e~aporator. The residue diluted ~n methglene chloride was heated and treated wlth acti~e carbo~. ~he aoti~e carbon was washea with a 8mall amount of sol~ent. ~he sol~ent waa removed under ~acuum from the gathered iiltrates and the residue puriiied by distillation.
Dhe 1,1,2-triacetosyethane wa~ distilled at 112-114C under 2 mmHg (bath at 150C). 6.86 g of product pure at the chromatography test (yield 50%) and with a melting point Or 48-50C were obtalned.
