SPECIFICATION
Process for the preparation of (+)-13-norfaranal This invention relates to a new process for the preparation of (+)-13- norfaranal, which is the 5 tracing feromone of Pharaoh's ant.
From the insect pests settled in the environment of men Pharaoh's ant is the most difficult to control. Pharaoh's ant hides its nests in the walls of flats and here the queens which provide for race preservation, propagation and quick reproduction are practically unavailable for conventional insecticides. 10 Recently compounds having juvenile hormone effect were succesfully used in the control of Pharaoh's ant (e.g. methopren). The Pharaoh's ants carry foodstuff treated with methopren into the anthill and this inhibits oviposition of the queens.
Pharaoh's ant uses 20-25 m long routes when seeking for food and the ants mark these routes by a specific luring material-the so-called -tracing feromon"- being characteristic of this 15 species. (+)-faranal is the most active component of the said tracing feromon of Pharaoh's ant and this compound induces the Pharaoh's ant workers to leave the anthill and hollow the trace even in a concentration of 1 pg/cm. This compound can be effectively used for the control of Pharaoh's ant when combined with juvenoides.
According to Hoyama et al [Naturwissenschaften 70, 469 (1983)l (+)-13norfaranal, having a 20 more simple structure than (+)-faranal, exerts a very strong tracing effect on Pharaoh's ant workers, the said effect being almost as high as that of (+)-faranal. Thus (+)-13-norfaranal is also suitable for use in the control of Pharaoh's ant when combined with juvenoides.
(+)-13-norfaranal has not yet been prepared in pure form so far. In prior art a single synthesis is disclosed [T. Koyama, M. Matsubara, K. Ogura, I.E.M. BrOggemann, A. Vrielink: Naturwissen- 25 schaften 70, 469 (1983)l which results in the formation of a 40:60 mixture of (+)-13-norfaranal and the diastereomer thereof having a (3R,4R)-configuration. Geraniol is used as starting material, which is phosphorilated, and the geranyl phosphate thus obtained is coupled with (Z)-3-methyl-3pentenyl-pyrophosphate with the aid of a purified synthetase enzyme system extracted from pig liver. This reaction gives with low yield the pyrophosphate of (4R)-(2E, 6E)-3,4,7,1 1-tetramethyl- 30 2,6,10-dodecatriene-l-ol, the product thus obtained is hydrolyzed by means of a phosphatase enzyme system and the (4R)-(2E,6E)-3,4,7,1 1-tetramethyl-2,6,10- dodecatrien-l-oI is oxidized with activated manganese oxide. The (4R)-(2E,6E)-3,4,7,1 1 -tetramethyi-2,6- 1 0-dodecatrienal thus ob tained is reduced with a tetrakis-(triphenylphosphite)-pailadium tributyl- tin-hydride system to a 40:60 mixture of (3S,4R)-(E)-3,4,7,1 1-tetramethyl-6,10-dodecadienal and (3R,4R)-(E)-3,4,7,1 1-tet- 35 ramethy]-6,10-dodecadienal; the said two components are not separated.
It is the object of the present invention to overcome the drawbacks of the known method and to provide a readily feasible process for the preparation of (+)-13- norfaranal.
According to the present invention there is provided a process for the preparation of (+) (3S,4R)-3,4,6, 11 -tetramethyl-6, 1 0-dodecadienal [(+)- 1 3-norfaranai)l of the Formula (1) 40 CHO which comprises forming an anion from the compound of the Formula (11) 45 50 0ú0 with a - strong base; reacting the anion thus obtained with a compound of the general Formula (111) 55 60 (wherein X stands for chlorine, bromine, iodine., methanesulfonyloxy or p- toluenesulfonyloxy); esterifying the compound of the Formula (IV) 2 GB2189244A 2 0) 0 ([V) 5 thus obtained; treating the compound of the general Formula (V) OH (V) 1 10 COOR1 thus obtained (wherein R' stands for a straight or branched chain alkyl group having 1-6 carbon atoms) with an agent capable of protecting the hydroxy group; reducing the compound of the general Formula (V1) 15 OR2 (V1) COORI 20 thus obtained with a metal hydride (wherein W) is as stated above and R2 stands for methoxy methyl, 1-ethoxy-ethyl or 2-tetrahydropyranyl); reacting the compound of the general Formula (VII) 25 OR2 (V11) 1 IOH 30 thus obtained (wherein R2 is as stated above) with a halogenating or acylating agent; reducing the compound of the general Formula (V111) 35 (VIII) -,X 40 thus obtained (wherein R2 and X are as stated above); hydrolysing the compound of the general Formula (IX) 45 OR2 (IX) 50 thus obtained (wherein R2 is as stated above); and oxidizing the compound of the Formula (X) (X) 55 thus obtained into (+)-13-norfaranal of the Formula (1).
The present invention is based on the recognition that (+)-13-norfaranal of the Formula (1) can 60 be easily prepared in pure form from the readily available optically active compond of the Formula (11) [C.S. Chen, Y. Fujimoto, G. Girdaukas, C.J. Sih: J. Am. Chem. Soc. 104, 7297 (1982)1. In the first step of the synthesis from (S)-4-methyi-tetrahydro2H-pyrane-2-one of the Formula (11) an anion is formed with the aid of a strong base (preferably with lithium diethylamide prepared from diethyl amine and butyl lithium), the anion thus formed is reacted without isolation 65 3 GB2189244A 3 with a compound of the general Formula (111) (wherein X is chlorine, bromine, iodide, mesyloxy, tosyloxy) preferably with the readily available geranyl bromide of the general Formula (111) (wherein X stands for bromine); P. Gosselin, G. Madman F. Roussac: [Synthesis 877, (1984)].
The reaction is carried out at low temperature, preferably between -78C and -30'C. From the reaction mixture the compound of the Formula (IV) thus formed being contaminated by 5-6% of 5 the (3S,4S)-diastereomer thereof is isolated by extraction and purified by column chromato graphy.
The compond of the Formula (N) is converted into an ester of the general Formula (V) (wherein R' stands for a straight or branched chain alkyl group having 1- 6 carbon atoms). It is preferred to form a methyl ester in methanol with trimethyl amine. The ester of the general 10 Formula (V) thus obtained is isolated, if desired, and thereafter converted into a compound of the general Formula (V1) (wherein R' is as stated above and 112 stands for methoxymethyl, 1 ethoxy-ethyl or 2-tetrahydropyranyl). This reaction is carried out in a manner known per se, e.g.
by reacting the compound of the general Formula (V) with chloromethyl methyl ether to yield a compound of the general Formula (V1), wherein R' is methyl and R 2 stands for methoxymethyl. 15 The compound of the general Formula (V1) is reduced with a metal hydride (preferably with lithium tetrahydrido aluminate) in an anhydrous aprotic solvent (preferably in dry tetrahydrofurane) to yield the compound of the general Formula (VII) (wherein R 2 is as stated above).
The compound of the general Formula (VII) is isolated and converted into a compound of the general Formula (VIII) by methods known per se (wherein X and R2 are as stated above). One 20 may proceed preferably by using mesyl chloride and preparing a mesylate of the general Formula (VIII) (wherein R2 is as stated above, preferably methoxymethyl and X stands for mesyloxy). The compound thus obtained is reduced with a metal hydride (preferably lithium tetrahydrido alumi nate) in an anhydrous aprotic solvent (preferably anhydrous tetrahydrofurane) to yield a com pound of the general Formula (IX) (wherein R2 is as stated above). 25 The compound of the general Formula (IX) is isolated, whereupon the protecting group is removed by acid-catalysed hydrolysis-preferably by using 0.1-0.01 M methanolic hydrogen chloride. The compound of the general Formula (X) thus obtained is isolated and oxidized with a known oxidizing agent (preferably pyridinium dichromate). From the reaction mixture the desired compound of the Formula (1) ((+)- 1 3-norfa ra nail is isolated with an isomer purity of 94-95%. 30 Further details of the present invention are to be found in the following Examples without limiting the scope of protection to the said Examples.
