Description

SPECIFICATION Process for the preparation of 3-substituted-2cyclo-pentenone derivatives The invention relates to a process for the preparation of 3-substituted-2-cyclopentenone derivatives of the general formula (I),
wherein R' and R2 represent independently from each other a hydrogen atom or a straight-chained or branched C,, alkyl group, R3 stands for a hydrogen atom or a C,, alkoxy group, Y represents hydrogen, or R3 and Y together represent an oxygen atom or a double bond.
The compounds of the general formula (I) can serve as intermediates for the preparation of the derivatives of the general formula (IV),
wherein R', R2, R3 and Y have the same meanings as above, and R is a straight-chained or branched alkyl group.
The latter compounds are useful for the control of insects.
One of the compounds of the general formula (I), wherein R1, R2, R3 and Y each stand for hydrogen, is known. The other derivatives of the general formula (I) have not so far been described.
In accordance with the invention even the known derivative is prepared by a new procedure.
The only known derivative of the general formula (I) was used for the preparation of the compounds of the general formula (IV), wherein R1, R2, R3 and Y each represent hydrogen atom and R4 is ethyl group [C. A. Henrick and al.: Bioorg.
Chem. 7, 235(1978)]. The authors have found that the compound thus prepared is highly effective in controlling many insect species. Its effectivity against yellow-fever mosquito (Aedes aegypti) is twice, against greater wax moth (Galleria mellonelia) is ten times, against yellow mealworm (Tenebrio monitor) and tobacco budworm (Heliothis virescens) is a hundred times, against house fly (Musca domestica) is a thousand times as high as that of Hydroprene.
For the preparation of the cyclopentenone derivatives used as intermediates two methods are known [Bioorganic Chemistry 7, 235 (1978)].
According to the first of these processes 2,6dimethyl-1-heptene was used as starting substance. It was reacted with diborane to yield the corresponding trialkylborane. The latter compound was reacted first with bromine, then with sodium methoxide. The 1-bromo-2,6dimethylheptane thus obtained was converted into Grignard reagent with magnesium metal in ether, and then reacted with 3-methoxycyclopent 2-en-1 -one prepared from 1,3-cyclopentanedione with diazomethane. Finally water was split off from the 3-(2,6-dimethylheptyl) cyclopent-2-en-1 -one thus obtained with acid to result the cyclopentenone derivative of the general formula (I) (wherein R=R2=R3=Y=H) in a poor yield (13 %).
This process is uneconomic because of the expensive starting substances and reactants (diborane, diazomethane) and the very low yield.
Besides, the method is unsuitable for the preparation of compounds of the general formula (I) containing an alkoxy group [(ll): R3=O-alkyl] because of the well-known acid sensitivity of the compounds containing such a group.
According to an improved method of C. A.
Henrick et al., 2,6-dimethyl-1-heptene was used as starting substance. This compound was hydroborated into 1-hydroxy-2,6-dimethyl- heptane, which was converted into 1-chloro-2,6dimethylheptane with thionyl chloride. This chloro compound was converted with lithium metal into the corresponding alkyllithium derivative, which was then reacted with 2-cyciopentenone obtained by brominating cyclopentanone and subsequently splitting off hydrogen bromide from the compound thus obtained. The 1-hydroxy-1 (2,6-dimethylheptyl)-2-cyclopentene thus prepared was oxidized with chromic acid (chrome oxide and sulfuric acid) in ethereal solution to obtain the cyclopentenone derivative of the general formula (I), wherein R1, R2, R3 and Y each respresent hydrogen. Though the yield of this process is higher than that of the previous one, it has several disadvantages.Beside the fact that it requires expensive starting substances and reactants, this synthesis is not suitable for the preparation of derivatives containing an alkoxy group (that is compounds of the general formula (I), wherein R3 is alkoxy) because of the strongly acidic reagents used in two reaction steps.
The aim of the present invention is to provide a simple and economic synthesis for the preparation of the compounds of the general formula (I), which can be used for the production of the known (R1=R2=R3=H, R4=ethyl) and the new compounds of the general formula (IV) possessing valuable biological properties.
It has been found, that both the known derivative and the new ones of the general formula (I) can be produced in fewer reaction steps from the new 2,5-dodecanedione derivatives of the general formula (II),
wherein R', R2, R3 and Y are as defined above, by a.) reacting a 2,5-dodecanedione derivative of the general formula (II)-wherein R1, R2, R3 and Y are as defined above-with an alkali or alkaline-earth hydride or a lithium-(di-C1e alkyl amide) in an aprotic, preferably ether type solvent, and reacting the compound of the general formula (III) thus obtained
wherein R1, R2, R3 and Y are as defined above, with an acid; or b.) reacting a compound of the general formula (ill) wherein R1, R2, R3 and Y are as defined above, with a base, preferably in a solvent, and optionally separating the thus-obtained compound of the general formula (I) from the reaction mixture.
When carrying out the reaction with an alkali hydride, preferably sodium or potassium hydride is used. As lithium-(di-C16 alkyl amide), preferably lithium-(diethyl amide) or lithium (diisopropyl amide) is used.
When proceeding according to variant a.) of the invention, preferably ether-type solvents (such as diethyl ether, dioxane, tetrahydrofurane, etc.) are used as aprotic solvents.
The intermediate of the general formula (III) obtained according to variant a.) need not be isolated; it can be converted into the desired compound of the general formula (I) without external measures, by the effect of the catalytic amount of acid present in the reaction mixture.
When proceeding as described in variant b.) of the process according to the invention, a compound of the general formula (III) is reacted with a base. The reaction is preferably carried out in an organic solvent. As base, preferably alkali or alkaline-earth hydroxides or hydrides are used.
When proceeding according to variant a.) of the process according to the invention and using an alkali or alkaline-earth hydride, the reaction may be carried out at a temperature between -200C and 800C, preferably between 0 C and 30"C. When a lithium-(di-C1~6 alkyl amide) is used, one proceeds at lower temperatures, preferably between C and -800C, particularly between -300C and -700C. Whether a metal hydride or a lithium-(di-C18 alkyl amide) is used, the reaction is carried out preferably under inert gas.
According to our investigations, the compounds of the general formula (II) serving as starting substances for the process described in variant a.) are prepared from a citronellal derivative of the general formula (V),
wherein R', R2, R3 and Y are as defined above, which can be produced from the commercially available citronellal by known methods.For the preparation of the compounds of the general formula (II), a compound of the general formula (V) is reacted with methyl vinyl ketone of the formula (Vl),
in the presence of a catalytic amount of a thiazolium salt of the general formula (VII),
wherein R5 represents a straight-chained or branched C15 alkyl group, a 2-hydroxyethyl group or a benzyl group, Re is hydrogen or C13 alkyl, R7 stands for a straight-chained or branched C14 alkyl or a 2-hydroxyethyl group, and X- is a halide ion.
The reaction is optionally carried out in an organic solvent-preferably in anhydrous dioxane-at a temperature not too high, preferably between 650C and 800C. Related to the amount of the catalyst, at least one equivaient of base-preferably trialkylamine-is used. The product is isolated from the reaction mixture by extraction or by vacuum distillation.
The term "alkyl group" used in the specification and claims refers to straight-chained or branched alkyl groups (e.g. methyl, ethyl, npropyl, isopropyl or n-butyl). The term alkoxy" relates to straight-chained or branched alkoxy groups containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms (e.g. methoxy, ethoxy, n-propoxy or isobutoxy.
The "halide ion" can be chloride, bromide or iodide ion, and it represents preferably chloride ion.
