Aus Tetrahedron Letters, Band 36, Ϊ974, Seiten 3239—3240 ist das 4-Methyl-7-acetyl-23,4,5,8,10-hexyhydroazulen, also eine Verbindung der allgemeinen Formel I mit R1 = R2 =■- R4 = H und RJ = R5 = Methyl, bekannt, jedoch ist das dort beschriebene Verfahren zur Herstellung dieser Verbindung aus (l-Cyclopenten-l-ylmethylen)-triphenylphosphoran und Sorbinsäureethylester über ein Azulenderivat mit annelliertem Cyclopropanring offensichtlich durch die Verwendung schlecht zugänglicher und daher teurer Ausgangsverbindungen, teurer Reaktionshilfsstoffe, wie dem Triphenylphosphin und Methyllithium, sowie durch schlechte Ausbeuten technisch unattraktiv und auf die Herstellung dieses Individuums beschränkt.From Tetrahedron Letters, Volume 36, Ϊ974, pages 3239-3240 is 4-methyl-7-acetyl-23,4,5,8,10-hexyhydroazulene, ie a compound of the general formula I with R 1 = R 2 = ■ - R 4 = H and R J = R 5 = methyl, known, but the process described there for the preparation of this compound from (l-cyclopenten-l-ylmethylene) triphenylphosphorane and ethyl sorbate via an azulene derivative with an annellated cyclopropane ring is evident from the use poorly accessible and therefore expensive starting compounds, expensive reaction auxiliaries such as triphenylphosphine and methyllithium, and poor yields technically unattractive and limited to the production of this individual.

Die neuen Hexahydroazulene eignen sich als Riechstoffkomponenten zur Erzielung holzartiger Geruchseffekte. Darüber hinaus stellen sie Schlüsselverbindungen für die Herstellung zahlreicher bekannter und neuer Azulenderivate dar. Beispielsweise läßt sich aus M-Dimethyl-Z-acetyW.SAS.S.lO-hv.-xahydroazulen (Ia) durch einfache Grignardmethylierung und anschließende Dehydratisierung und Dehydrierung überraschenderweise in guten Ausbeuten der bekannte in der Kamille vorkommende Naturstoff Guaiazulen (IV) herstellen. Guaiazulen findet vielfach in der Heilmittel- und Kosmetikindustrie Verwendung.The new hexahydroazulenes are suitable as fragrance components to achieve woody odor effects. In addition, they provide key links for the production of numerous familiar and new ones Azulene derivatives. For example, M-dimethyl-Z-acetyW.SAS.S.10-hv.-xahydroazulene (Ia) can be passed through simple Grignard methylation and subsequent dehydration and dehydration surprisingly in produce good yields of the well-known natural product guaiazulene (IV) found in chamomile. Guaiazulene is widely used in the medicine and cosmetics industry.

Das bei dieser Synthese auftretende neue Zwischenprodukt 111 ist ein Sesquiterpen mit wertvollen Riechstoffeigenschaften. Es riecht harzig. Richtung Fichtenholz, und gleichzeitig leicht blumig.The new intermediate product 111 occurring in this synthesis is a sesquiterpene with valuable odorous properties. It smells resinous. Direction of spruce wood, and at the same time slightly flowery.

Es ist zwar aus Chemistry and Industry, Band 68 (1956). Seiten 576—77 bereits ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von Guaiazulen bekannt, jedoch hat dieses Verfahren mehr wissenschaftliche als technische Bedeutung. Es geh! aus von der wenig gebräuchlichen 2-Methyl-5-isopropyl-7-oxo-octandisäure (dort ]-Methyl-4-isopropyl-6-oxokorksäure genannt) und führt in 10 teilweise technisch sehr teuren und schwierig realisierbaren Reaktionsstufen wie einer Wolff-Kishner-Rediiktion. einer Dieckmann-Kondensation unter hoher Verdünnung, einer Michaeladdition mit Ethylcrotonat, einer Reduktion mit dem teuren Na[BHj], einer Umsetzung mit Polyphosphorsäurc sowie einer Reduktion mit LiAIH4 zu dem gewünschten Guaiazulen. Demgegenüber ermöglicht das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren eine Synthese von Guaiazulen ausgehend von technischen Großprodukten wie 2-Methyl-2-hepten-6-on (Va: Zwischenprodukt der technischen Vitamin-A-Synthese) oder Dehydrolinalool (VIa. Weltproduktion ca. 4 bis 5000 jato) in nur 8 bzw. 7 technisch üblichen Reaktionsschritten über die neuen Verbindungen l-(2'-Oxo-butan-4'-yl)-2-methyl-5-(l"-oxo-butan-3"-yl-cyclopent-l"-en (Ha) und das l,4-Dimethyl-7-aceiyl-2,3.4,5,8,10-hexahydroazulen (la). So erhält man aus Dihydrolinalool (VIa) durch Erhitzen auf ca. 200"C im Autoklaven in praktisch quantitativer Ausbeute l-Hydroxy-l-methyi-2-methylen-3-isopropfnyl-cyclopeniun (Vila), welches durch Carrol-Reaktion mit Acetessigester mit etwa 75%iger Ausbeute in l-Methyl-2-(2'-o\o-butan-4'-yl)-3-isopropenyl-l-cyclopenten (Villa) überführt und durch Hydroformylierung in Ausbeulen von ca. 86% zu der neuen Verbindung Ha umgesetzt werden kann. Die erfindungsgemäße Umsetzung von Ha zu la gelingt in Ausbeuten von über 80%. Auch die folgende Grignard-Methylierung zu dem neuen Alkohol III sowie die anschließende Dehydratisierung und Dehydrierung sind in der technischen Durchführung unproblematisch und führen in überraschend guten Ausbeuten zu Guaiazulen.It is from Chemistry and Industry, Volume 68 (1956). Pages 576-77 already disclose a process for the production of guaiazulene, but this process has more scientific than technical significance. It go! from the less common 2-methyl-5-isopropyl-7-oxo-octanedioic acid (called there-methyl-4-isopropyl-6-oxocorkic acid) and results in 10 reaction stages, some of which are technically very expensive and difficult to implement, such as a Wolff-Kishner -Reduction. a Dieckmann condensation under high dilution, a Michael addition with ethyl crotonate, a reduction with the expensive Na [BHj], a reaction with polyphosphoric acid and a reduction with LiAlH 4 to give the desired guaiazulene. In contrast, the process according to the invention enables guaiazulene to be synthesized starting from large technical products such as 2-methyl-2-hepten-6-one (Va: intermediate product of technical vitamin A synthesis) or dehydrolinalool (VIa. World production approx. 4 to 5000 tpd) in only 8 or 7 technically usual reaction steps via the new compounds l- (2'-oxo-butan-4'-yl) -2-methyl-5- (l "-oxo-butan-3" -yl-cyclopent- l "-en (Ha) and 1,4-dimethyl-7-aceiyl-2,3,4,5,8,10-hexahydroazulene (la). Dihydrolinalool (VIa) is thus obtained by heating to approx. 200" C. in the autoclave in practically quantitative yield l-hydroxy-l-methyi-2-methylene-3-isopropfnyl-cyclopeniun (Vila), which by Carrol reaction with acetoacetic ester with about 75% yield in l-methyl-2- (2 ' -o \ o-butan-4'-yl) -3-isopropenyl-1-cyclopentene (Villa) and can be converted to the new compound Ha by hydroformylation in bulges of about 86%. The inventive conversion of Ha to la succeeds in yields of over 80%. The subsequent Grignard methylation to give the new alcohol III and the subsequent dehydration and dehydrogenation are also unproblematic in technical implementation and lead to guaiazulene in surprisingly good yields.

Zur Durchführung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens fügt man entweder zu der Verbindung der Formel Il oder deren Lösung in einem inerten Lösungsmittel den Katalysator in Form von Pulver. Körnern oder Kristallen und erhitzt das Ganze auf die Reaktionstemperatur, oder aber man führt die Verbindung der Formel Il bei der Reaktionstemperatur kontinuierlich über einen geeigneten Festbettkatalysator. Je nach der Art der Durchführung des Verfahrens ist die Reaktionstemperatur höher oder niedriger. Wird die Verbindung der Formel II in Gegenwart von einem inerten Lösungsmittel und einem suspendierten oder gelösten Katalysator erhitzt, so sind Temperaturen von 100 bis 50O0C, vorzugsweise von 150 bis 2500C, notwendig. Führt man dagegen die Verbindung der Formel II kontinuierlich über einen Festbettkontakt, so sind vorzugsweise Temperaturen von 170 bis 2700C notwendig.To carry out the process according to the invention, either the compound of the formula II or its solution in an inert solvent is added the catalyst in the form of powder. Grains or crystals and the whole thing is heated to the reaction temperature, or the compound of the formula II is passed continuously over a suitable fixed bed catalyst at the reaction temperature. Depending on how the process is carried out, the reaction temperature is higher or lower. If the compound of the formula II is heated in the presence of an inert solvent and a suspended or dissolved catalyst, temperatures of 100 to 50O 0 C, preferably from 150 to 250 0 C, are necessary. If, on the other hand, the compound of the formula II is passed continuously over a fixed bed contact, temperatures of 170 to 270 ° C. are preferably necessary.

Die Lösungsmittel verwendet man im allgemeinen in einem Volumenverhältnis von 1 :1 bis 10 : 1.The solvents are generally used in a volume ratio of 1: 1 to 10: 1.

Die Isolierung der erfindungsgemäßen Verbindungen erfolgt im allgemeinen durch einfache Destillation des Reaktionsansatzes.The compounds according to the invention are generally isolated by simple distillation of the Reaction approach.
