Abstract

a - Halo - b - substituted-butyrolactones of the general formula: <FORM:0600865/IV(b)/1> in which R is a monovalent acylic or carbocyclic radical, which is linked through a saturated carbon atom of the radical to the b carbon atom of butyrolactone nucleus, and X is chlorine, bromine or iodine are obtained by treating an ester of the acid of the formula: R-C.(OH).(CH3)-CH.X-COOH with a solution of hydrogen bromide in a liquid saturated aliphatic acid, e.g. acetic or propionic acid. Preferably the ester is an alkyl ester. The a -halo-b -R-butyrolactone may be dehydrogenated by treating with an anhydrous alkali metal acetate, such as potassium acetate, sodium acetate or lithium acetate in a liquid saturated aliphatic acid such as acetic acid, propionic acid or butyric acid to produce a b -R-D a b -butyrolactone. In examples: (1) ethyl - a chloro - b - hydroxy - b - cyclohexylbutyrate (obtained by condensing ethyl dichloroacetate with methyl cyclohexyl ketone in the presence of magnesium amalgam) in glacial acetic acid is saturated with hydrogen bromide and refluxed to produce a -chloro-b -cyclohexylbutyrolactone. This product heated with anhydrous potassium acetate in glacial acetic acid yields b -cyclohexyl-D a b -butyrolactone; (2) as in (1) except that the bromo derivative is produced; (3) ethyl a -chloro-b -b -hydroxy-b -etiocholanylbutyrate is treated as in (1) to produce a -chloro-b -etiocholanyl butyrolactone and 3, 14-bisdesoxythevetigin; (4) ethyl - 2 - chloro - b - hydroxy - b - 3(b )-acetoxy etiocholanylbutyrate (obtained by condensing pregnanol - 3(b ) - one - 20 -acetate with ethyl dichloroacetate in the presence of magnesium amalgam) is treated as in (1) to produce a - chloro - b - 3(b ) - acetoxy etiocholanylbutyrolactone and 14 - desoxythevetigenin acetate. The latter compound on hydrolysis with hydrochloric acid forms 14-desoxythevetigenin.
