Description

SPECIFICATION Process for the preparation of 3,5-ethano-2,4-dodecadienoates The invention relates to a process for the preparation of 3,5-ethano-2,4-dodecadienoates of the general formula (I),
wherein R' represents a straight-chained or branched C1 4 alkyl or a C24 alkynyl group, X stands for a hydrogen atom or a straight-chained or branched C, 4 alkoxy group, Y denotes hydrogen, or X and Y together represents a double bond.
The compounds of the general formula (I) are useful for the control of insects.
Ethyl [(E)-3,5-ethano-7,1 1-dimethyl-2,4-dodecadienoate], a representative of the compounds of the general formula (I), showed remarkable potency on different insect species [C.A. Henrick, J.N. Labovitz, V.L. Graves and G.B. Staal: Bioorg. Chem.], 235-250(1978)3. Its effectivity against yellow-fever mosquito (Aedes aegypti) is three times, against greater wax moth (Galleria mellonella) is ten times, against yellow mealworm (Tenebrio molitor) and tobacco budworm (Heliothis virescens) is a hundred times and against house fly (Musca domestica) is a thousand times as high as that of Hydroprene (trademark Altozar). The other derivatives of the general formula (I) are also highly effective in controlling many insect species. The (E) isomers are far mor effective than the (Z) isomers.
For the preparation of the dodecadienoates of the general formula (I) two methods have been published (USA patent specifications Nos. 4 058 666 and 4 000 174). The starting substances of both processes are the 2-cyclopentenone derivatives of the general formula (II),
wherein X and Y are as defined above.
According to the first of these processes the 2-cyclopentenones of the general formula (II) are reacted with lithium salts derived from alkyl [trimethylsilylacetates3. According to the other known method 3-(2,6-dimethylheptyl)-cyclopent-2-en-1-one, a representative of the compounds of the general formula (II), is converted with a mixture of lithium diisopropylamide and ethyl acetate into ethyl (7,1 1-dimethyl-3,5-ethylene-3-hydroxy-4-dodecenoate), which is then reacted with phosphoryl chloride.
In both processes a 1:1 mixture of the (E) and (Z) isomers is obtained, which is subjected to thin layer chromatography to obtain the individual isomers.
A serious disadvantage of the known processes is the unfavourable isomeric ratio (1:1).
Besides, these methods are uneconomical because of the expensive reactants [e.g. alkyl(trimethylsilylacetate), alkyl lithium].
The aim of the present invention is to provide a synthesis devoid of the above drawbacks, which is economical also on an industrial scale.
It has been found that the compounds of the general formula (I) can be obtained with a favourable isomeric ratio proceeding as follows: a.) To prepare a subgroup of the compounds having the general formula (I), wherein R' represents a straight-chained or branched alkyl group and X and Y are as defined above, an anion derived from a phosphoric acid derivative of the general formula (III),
wherein R' and R2 each represent a straight-chained or branched C14 alkyl group, with a base in a dipolar-aprotic or protic solvent, is reacted with a compound of the general formula (it).
wherein X and Y are as defined above, preferably at a temperature between 20"C and 90"C; or b.) to prepare a subgroup of the compounds having the general formula (I), wherein R1 represents a C24 alkynyl group and X and Y are as defined above, an ester of the general formula (I), wherein R' stands for a straight-chained or branched C14 alkyl group and X and Y are as defined above, is reacted with a base in an alcohol or in the mixture of an alcohol and water, the carboxylic acid thus obtained is halogenated, and the halide thus obtained is reacted with a C24 alkynol.
In the reaction an isomeric mixture containing 70 to 75% of 2(E) isomer and 25 to 30% of 2(Z) isomer is formed, which is separated into the individual isomers by column chromatography.
The compounds of the general formula (II) used as starting substances for the process described in variant a.) are known and can be prepared e.g. as specified in Hungarian patent specification No. 180 635. The phosphoric acid derivatives of the general formula (Ill) can be derived from trialkyl phosphites via an Arbuzow reaction with haloacetic acid esters [B A.
Arbazew: Pure Appl. Chem. 9, 307/1964)].
The anions derived from the compounds of the general formula (III) can be formed with inorganic or organic bases (e.g. metal alcoholates, hydrides, alkali amides, alkyl or aryl lithium or potassium metal). It is preferable to use metal alcoholates, such as sodium ethylate or potassium tert. butylate. The reaction is carried out in a dipolar-aprotic or protic solvent or in the mixture thereof. As dipolar-aprotic solvent preferably dimethylformamide, hexamethylphosphorus triamide or dimethyl sulfoxide can be used. As protic solvents, preferably alkanols are used. The reaction is preferaly performed at a temperature between 20"C and 90on.
According to variant b.) of the process according to the invention the alkynyl esters of the general formula (I) are produced. For this purpose the corresponding alkyl esters are reacted with a base in an alcohol or in the mixture of an alcohol and water. As base inorganic bases (e.g. alkali hydroxides or carbonates) can be used. The acid thus obtained is halogenated by methods known per se, finally the resulting halide is reacted with a C24 alkynol, preferably in an apolar solvent. As apolar solvent, preferably benzene, pentane, hexane or cyclohexane are used.
ihe invention is illustrated in detail by the aid of the following non-limiting Examples: Example 1 Preparation of isopropyl UE)-3,5-etliano-7, 11-dimethyl-2,4-dodecadienoate] [1; R' = (CH3)2CH, X=Y= H] 0.9 g (0.008 mole) of potassium tert. butylate is suspended in 8 ml of anhydrous dimethylformamide, and a solution of 1.88 g (0.008 mole) of isopropyl (diethoxyphosphoryl acetate) [III; R1 = (CH3)2CH, R2 = CH3-CH21 in 8 ml of anhydrous dimethylformamide is added to it under argon.The reaction mixture is stirred for half an hour at room temperature and a solution of 0.83 g (0.004 mole) of 3-(2,6-dimethylheptyl)-2-cyclopentenone in 5 ml of an hydros dimethylformamide is added to it, and the mixture is stirred at 70"C for 6 hours.
