Description

  

  
 



   La présente invention a pour objet un procédé nouveau pour la préparation d'un composé carbonylé de formule:
EMI1.1     
 possédant une double liaison cyclique en position 1, 2 ou 4 ou deux doubles liaisons conjuguées cycliques en positions   I    et 3 comme indiqué par les pointillés et dans laquelle les symboles   R    et R2 représentent   l'hydrogéne    ou   l'un    d'eux un reste alkyle inférieur et l'autre l'hydrogène, les symboles R3, R4 et   R5    représentent l'hydrogène ou   l'un    d'eux un reste alkyle et les autres l'hydrogène, caractérisé en ce qu'on déshydrate un composé de formule:
EMI1.2     
 dans laquelle les symboles   Rl    à   Rs    et les pointillés sont définis comme pour la formule I.



   Les composés carbonylés alicycliques de formule I sont des composés connus. particulièrement appréciés en parfumerie et dans l'industrie des arômes pour leurs propriétés organoleptiques remarquables [voir à ce sujet brevet français   No    1591031; brevets suisses   N"    513094,   N"    513096 et   NO    513097; Helv. Chim. Acta 53,   541(1970)].   



   La préparation desdits composés est également connue. Diverses méthodes de synthèse ont été proposées, dont entre autres:
 a) I'hydrogénation partielle de dérivés acétyléniques correspondants [brevet suisse   No    498795];
 b) la condensation d'un dérivé oganométallique du propène et d'un dérivé cyclogéranylé [brevet suisse   N"    503684];
 c) la cyclisation d'une  pseudo-cétone  au moyen d'un agent de cyclisation acide [brevet suisse   No      503865];   
 d) la déshydrogénation d'un dérivé cyclohexénique pour obtenir le dérivé cyclohexadiénique correspondant [brevet suisse   N"    505733].



   L'objet de la présente invention consiste à proposer une solution inédite et techniquement originale au problème posé à l'homme de l'art par la synthèse de composés carbonylés alicycliques de formule I.



   La réaction de déshydratation s'effectue de préférence au moyen d'un agent acide ou basique, ou plus simplement par chauffage. Comme agents déshydratants acides, on peut notamment utiliser des acides minéraux tels que les acides sulfurique, chlorhydrique, borique ou phosphorique par exemple, ou des acides organiques tels que l'acide   p-toluène-sulfonique    par exemple. On peut également utiliser des oxydes tels que le pentoxyde de phosphore ou des anhydrides organiques tel l'anhydride acétique par exemple.



   On peut en outre utiliser des bases fortes, mais dans ce cas cependant on obtient des produits secondaires, vraisemblablement dus à des réactions autres que la déshydratation.



   Le procédé exposé ci-dessus possède entre autres l'avantage de donner de meilleurs rendements que ceux obtenus au moyen des méthodes connues mentionnées plus haut. Il a en outre l'avantage d'utiliser des produits de départ d'accès aisé.



   Il convient finalement de noter que, bien que ne faisant pas partie de la matière revendiquée, la déshydratation d'un composé de formule II, possédant une double liaison cyclique en position 3, s'effectue de façon identique.



   Les composés de formule II, utilisés comme produits de départ dans le procédé de l'invention, peuvent être obtenus au moyen de la méthode exposée ci-après: partant d'un composé de formule:
EMI1.3     
 on en prépare premièrement l'oxime correspondante [voir à ce sujet L.F. Fieser et M.   Fieser,    Organic Chemistry, Reinhold
Publication Corp., New York 1956, p. 211 et suivantes], on cyclise ensuite la ionone-oxime ainsi obtenue au moyen d'un agent cyclisant tel que l'iode par exemple, puis on réduit l'isoxazole ainsi préparé pour obtenir une amino-cétone se présentant sous les deux formes en équilibre ci-dessous:
EMI1.4     

 forme amine
 Dans les formules ci-dessus, les symboles   Rl    à   Rs    et les pointillés sont définis comme pour la formule I.



   Enfin, ladite amino-cétone est successivement hydrolysée et réduite en composé de formule   II    comme décrit par le détail dans l'exemple illustrant le procédé de l'invention. Dans ledit exemple, les températures sont indiquées en degrés centigrades.



   forme imine
Exemple:
 2,6,6-   Triméthyl-1-      (but-2-énoyl)-cyclohex-2-ène.   



   1,0 g de 2,6,6-triméthyl-1-(3-hydroxy-butyryl)-cyclohex-2-ène, dissous dans 25   ml    de   CH2 Cl2,    a été chauffé durant 60 mn à environ   40 ,    en présence de traces d'acide   p-toluène-sulfonique.    Après extraction à l'éther, les extraits organiques combinés ont été lavés au moyen d'une solution aqueuse à 10% de NaHCO3, puis à  
I'eau. Après séchage sur MgSO4, évaporation et distillation du résidu, on a obtenu la cétone désirée avec un rendement de 90%.



  Les données analytiques de ladite cétone sont identiques à celles d'un échantillon pur préparé selon la méthode décrite dans le brevet suisse   N"    503685.



   De façon identique, le   2,6,6-triméthyl-1-(3-hydroxy-butyryl)-    cyclohex-l-ène a été converti en   2,6,6-triméthyl-1-(but-2-énoyl)-    cyclohex-l-ène, la réaction de déshydratation étant effectuée dans le toluène, à   100-110".    Le produit ainsi obtenu s'est montré identique à un échantillon préparé selon une méthode connue [voir à ce sujet brevet suisse   No    505773].



   Le   2,6,6-trimethyl- 1 -(3-hydroxy-butyryl)-cyclohex-2-ène,    utilisé comme produit de départ dans le procédé ci-dessus, a été préparé comme suit:
 a) 77 g de chlorhydrate d'hydroxylamine et 125 g d'acétate de sodium anhydre dans 200 ml d'eau ont été ajoutés à une solution de 200 g   d'x-ionone    dans 500 ml   d'éthanol.    La réaction était légèrement exothermique et la température du mélange réactionnel a finalement atteint   35".    L'agitation du mélange a été poursuivie durant 15 mn, puis on a éliminé les fractions volatiles par distillation sous pression réduite.

  Le résidu aqueux ainsi obtenu a ensuite été dilué au moyen de 200 ml d'eau et extrait avec deux portions de 150   ml    d'éther de pétrole (Eb.   80-100 ).    Les extraits organiques combinés ont été lavés à l'eau, puis jusqu'à neutralité au moyen d'une solution aqueuse à 10% de NaHCO3. Par évaporation du solvant on a obtenu 210 g   d'x-ionone-oxime    impure. Un échantillon pour analyse a été purifié par chromatographie sur couche mince.



   b) Une solution de 88,9 g de NaHCO3 dans 750   ml    d'eau a été ajoutée, sous agitation, à 530 g (0,260 mole)   d'a-ionone-oxime    dissous dans 750   ml    de tétrahydrofuranne. Poursuivant la réaction à l'abri de la lumière, on a ensuite ajouté une solution de 148,6 g de KI et 69,2 g (0,270 mole) d'iode dans 500 ml d'eau et finalement chauffé à reflux durant 7 h. Après l'avoir maintenu durant une nuit à température ambiante et lui avoir ajouté 500   ml    d'une solution aqueuse saturée de NaHSO3, on a extrait le mélange réactionnel au moyen de 750 ml d'éther.

  Les extraits
 organiques combinés ont ensuite été séchés sur Na2   S04    et concentrés sous pression réduite pour donner un résidu qui, après
 distillation, a permis d'obtenir 28,75 g (54%) d'isoxazole, Eb. 69

Le mélange ainsi obtenu a ensuite été hydrogéné à pression et température ambiantes et, après absorption d'un équivalent d'hydrogène, filtré sur   célite.    Après avoir été concentrée sous pression réduite, la solution résiduelle a été chromatographiée sur colonne de silicate de magnésium [éluant: chloroforme/hexane   25:75]    pour fournir 3,73 g (90%) de   2,6,6-triméthyl-1-(3-amino-but-2-      énoyl)-cyclohex-2ène.

   The present invention relates to a new process for the preparation of a carbonyl compound of formula:
EMI1.1
 having a cyclic double bond in position 1, 2 or 4 or two conjugated cyclic double bonds in positions I and 3 as indicated by the dotted lines and in which the symbols R and R2 represent hydrogen or one of them an alkyl residue lower and the other hydrogen, the symbols R3, R4 and R5 represent hydrogen or one of them an alkyl residue and the others hydrogen, characterized in that a compound of formula is dehydrated:
EMI1.2
 in which the symbols Rl to Rs and the dotted lines are defined as for formula I.



   The alicyclic carbonyl compounds of formula I are known compounds. particularly appreciated in perfumery and in the flavoring industry for their remarkable organoleptic properties [see on this subject French patent No 1591031; Swiss Patents N "513094, N" 513096 and NO 513097; Helv. Chim. Acta 53, 541 (1970)].



   The preparation of said compounds is also known. Various synthesis methods have been proposed, including among others:
 a) partial hydrogenation of the corresponding acetylenic derivatives [Swiss patent No. 498795];
 b) the condensation of an oganometallic derivative of propene and of a cyclogeranyl derivative [Swiss patent N “503684];
 c) cyclization of a pseudo-ketone using an acid cyclizing agent [Swiss Patent No. 503865];
 d) the dehydrogenation of a cyclohexene derivative to obtain the corresponding cyclohexadienic derivative [Swiss Patent No. 505733].



   The object of the present invention is to provide a novel and technically original solution to the problem posed to those skilled in the art by the synthesis of alicyclic carbonyl compounds of formula I.



   The dehydration reaction is preferably carried out by means of an acidic or basic agent, or more simply by heating. As acid dehydrating agents, use may in particular be made of mineral acids such as sulfuric, hydrochloric, boric or phosphoric acids for example, or organic acids such as p-toluenesulphonic acid for example. It is also possible to use oxides such as phosphorus pentoxide or organic anhydrides such as acetic anhydride for example.



   Strong bases can also be used, but in this case, however, side products are obtained, presumably due to reactions other than dehydration.



   The process described above has, among other things, the advantage of giving better yields than those obtained by means of the known methods mentioned above. It also has the advantage of using easily accessible starting materials.



   Finally, it should be noted that, although not forming part of the claimed material, the dehydration of a compound of formula II, having a cyclic double bond at the 3-position, is carried out identically.



   The compounds of formula II, used as starting products in the process of the invention, can be obtained by means of the method set out below: starting from a compound of formula:
EMI1.3
 the corresponding oxime is first prepared [see on this subject L.F. Fieser and M. Fieser, Organic Chemistry, Reinhold
Publication Corp., New York 1956, p. 211 et seq.], The ionone-oxime thus obtained is then cyclized by means of a cyclizing agent such as iodine for example, then the isoxazole thus prepared is reduced to obtain an amino-ketone in the two forms in balance below:
EMI1.4

 amine form
 In the above formulas, the symbols Rl to Rs and the dotted lines are defined as for formula I.

Example:
 2,6,6-Trimethyl-1- (2-but-enoyl) -cyclohex-2-ene.



   1.0 g of 2,6,6-trimethyl-1- (3-hydroxy-butyryl) -cyclohex-2-ene, dissolved in 25 ml of CH2 Cl2, was heated for 60 min at about 40, in the presence of traces of p-toluenesulfonic acid. After extraction with ether, the combined organic extracts were washed with 10% aqueous NaHCO3 solution, then with
Water. After drying over MgSO4, evaporation and distillation of the residue, the desired ketone was obtained with a yield of 90%.



  The analytical data of said ketone are identical to those of a pure sample prepared according to the method described in Swiss patent No. 503685.



   Likewise, 2,6,6-trimethyl-1- (3-hydroxy-butyryl) - cyclohex-1-ene was converted to 2,6,6-trimethyl-1- (but-2-enoyl) - cyclohex-1-ene, the dehydration reaction being carried out in toluene, at 100-110 ". The product thus obtained was shown to be identical to a sample prepared according to a known method [see on this subject Swiss Patent No. 505773].



   2,6,6-trimethyl- 1 - (3-hydroxy-butyryl) -cyclohex-2-ene, used as the starting material in the above process, was prepared as follows:
 a) 77 g of hydroxylamine hydrochloride and 125 g of anhydrous sodium acetate in 200 ml of water were added to a solution of 200 g of x-ionone in 500 ml of ethanol. The reaction was slightly exothermic and the temperature of the reaction mixture finally reached 35 ". Stirring of the mixture was continued for 15 min, then the volatiles were removed by distillation under reduced pressure.

  The aqueous residue thus obtained was then diluted with 200 ml of water and extracted with two portions of 150 ml of petroleum ether (bp 80-100). The combined organic extracts were washed with water, then until neutral with a 10% aqueous solution of NaHCO3. By evaporation of the solvent, 210 g of impure x-ionone-oxime were obtained. A sample for analysis was purified by thin layer chromatography.



   b) A solution of 88.9 g of NaHCO3 in 750 ml of water was added, with stirring, to 530 g (0.260 mol) of α-ionone-oxime dissolved in 750 ml of tetrahydrofuran. Continuing the reaction protected from light, a solution of 148.6 g of KI and 69.2 g (0.270 mol) of iodine in 500 ml of water was then added and finally heated to reflux for 7 h. . After keeping it overnight at room temperature and adding 500 ml of a saturated aqueous solution of NaHSO 3 to it, the reaction mixture was extracted with 750 ml of ether.

  The extracts
 The combined organics were then dried over Na2 SO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure to give a residue which after
 distillation yielded 28.75 g (54%) of isoxazole, Eb. 69
