Abstract

THIOPHENONE DERIVATIVES AND PROCESS FOR THEIR PRODUCTION
ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
Novel thiophenone derivatives are disclosed which are useful as thiotetronic acid precursors and have the formula:

Description

~z~

The invention relates -to new thiophenone deri~atives :that can be simply converted -to -thio-tetronic acid.
Thiotetronic acid itself has important application as an in-termediate product for the production oE (~) thiol-actomycin, a broad-spectrum anti.biotic [Tet~ahedron Letters, Vol 25, No. 46, pp. 5243 to 5~46,.(1984)~.
From E. Benary, Chem. Berichte 46, 2103, (1913), it is known to produce thiote-tronic acid, starting from acetyl-thioglycoyl chloride by reaction with sodium malonate and subsequent ring closure and water treatment. D.B. Macierewicz, Rocz. Chem.-47, 1735, (1973)', duplicated -the reaction of E.
Benary and in doing so obtained thiotetronic acid in a yield of 30.3 p~rcent based on the acetylthioglycoyl chloride used.
The syn-thesis of J.Z. Morterisen et al., Tetrahedron 27, 3839, ., . _ (1971), shows another possibility. Starting with 2,4-dibromo-thiophene, Mortensen et al. obtained.thiotetronic acid in a yield of 46.2 percent over three stages by reaction wi-th bu-tyllithium and t-butylperbenzoate.
Ilowever,'irl these conven-tional syntheses, no-t only are t}le yields too small, but also the starting materials and reagents used hardly allow for an economical industrial process.
A Eurther prob~.em lies in the production of a qualitatively hlgh-grade product, since thi.otetronic acid both during recrystallization and also in aqueous solution easily forms a dimerlc condensation produc-t with -the splitting ofE of wa-ter.
An object oE the invention is to provide alterna-tive thiotetronic acid precursors which are technically easy to produce, can be isolated from the reaction mix-ture, result in high purity and are simple to convert to thiotetronic acid.
: Accordingly,.the invention provides a novel thio-phenone derivative of the general.formuIa: .

wherein R i5 a C1 to C8 alkoxycarbonyl group, a halogen-or lower alkyl-substituted or unsubstituted benzyloxycarbonyl group, or a p-toluenesulfonyl group.
The invention further provides a process for the production of the novel Gompounds of the invention by the reaction of 4-Ghloro-4-chloromethyloxetan-2-one with hydrogen sulfide in the presence of a base, and Gonver~ion of the resultant thiotetronic acid with chloroformate or p-toluenesulfonyl chloride to the desired end product.
The 4-chloro-4-chloromethyloxetan-2-one starting material can be produGed in a simple manner according to the procedure de~cribed in published European Patent Application No. ~0~08 and, after flash distillation, can be used for the conver~ion accordin~ to the invention.
The hydrogen sulfide is advantageously used in gaseous form.
The base i8 advantageously an amine, such as a primary, secondary or tertiary amine, ammonla or even a guanidine. Tertiary amines, e.~ riethylamine, are regarded as partiGularly advantageous.
The chloroformate is advantageously a C1 to G8 alkyl or halogen- or lower alkyl-su~stituted or un~ubst~tutecl benzyl ester of chloroformic acid, with chloroformic acid C1 to C2 alkyl ester~ being preferred.
Furthermore, it is advantageous for the reaction to ~e performed in a solvent. Solvents that are inert to the reactive educt are suitable, e.g. halogenated hydrocarbons, ethers or carboxylates. For example, methylene chloride, chloroform, and ethereal solvents, ~0 e.y., tetrahydrofuran, can ~e used. Tetrahydrofuran or ethyl acetate is particularly preferred.
The reactants are advantageou~ly used in a molar ratio of 4-chloro-4-Ghloromethyloxetan-2-one to hydrogen sulfide to amine to Ghloroformatetp-toluenesulfonyl 35 chloride of from 1 : 1 : 2.8 : 0. a to 1 : 3 : 4 : 1, preferably from 1 : 2 : 2.~ : 0.~ to 1 : 3 : ~.0 : 1.

~ ' `

It is preferred to operate at a temperature oE -40 to +20C, more preferably from -20 to.-10C.. ~dvantageously, the procedure is such that the ~-chloro-4-chloromet}lyloxetan-
2-one, dissolved in the inert solvent, is saturated with hydrogen sulfide, and -then -the amine is added over a period of 30 to 120 mirlutes.
~ Eter the addition of the amine, and without the intermediate thiotetronic acid being separated, treatment with the chloroformate or p-toluenesulfonyl chloride results in direct conversion, in solution to the thiophenone deriva-tive according to the invention.
If the operation is conducted with a double amount, in other words with 1.6 -to 2 mols of chloroformate or p-toluenesul:Eonyl chloride per mol of the oxetanone, disub-stituted thi.ophellone derivat.ives of the formula:

~ J _ OR

wherein R hclS the above-mellt:ioned meanillg, carl be obtained in a simple manner.
Isolation o:E the thiophenone or thiophene deriva-tives can be carried out in a simple way by extrac-tion or by recrystallization. In thls way, yields of more than 70 per-cent, and contents consistently of more than 90 percent, andin some cases of mo.re than 99 percent, can be obtained.
The conversion of thiopherlone and thiophene deriva-tives to thiotetronic acids. is performed under basic condi-tions, advantageously in the presence of an alipha-tic amine or NH3.
AEter a suitable working up, a quali-tatively high-grade thiotetronic acid, with a content of more than 95 percent, can be obtained.
