Abstract
The invention comprises esters of 3-methyl-3-hydroxy - 5 - (2,6,6 - trimethylcyclohexen - 1 - yl) - penta - 4 - yne - oic acid and the preparation thereof, in a process for the synthesis of Vitamin A which includes subjecting a ketone of the type <FORM:0722911/IV (b)/1> wherein R is a hydrocarbon group, to a Reformatsky reaction effective to form a b -hydroxy ester and dehydrating the b -hydroxy ester to an unsaturated ester, by subjecting a ketone of the formula <FORM:0722911/IV (b)/2> wherein n is 1 or 0 to a Reformatsky reaction effective to form a b -hydroxy ester having an acetylenic bond between the b -hydroxy group and the terminal ring. Vitamin A ester is obtained by subjecting the butyryl ketone, 4-(2,6,6 - trimethyl cyclohexen - 1 - yl) but - 3 - yne-2-one, to a Reformatsky reaction with a haloacetate and thereby converting said butynyl ketone to the b -hydroxy ester, 3-methyl-3-hydroxy - 5 - (2,6,6 - trimethyl cyclohexen - 1 - yl) - penta - 4 - yne - oic ester; dehydrating said b -hydroxy ester to the a ,b -unsaturated ester, 3 - methyl - 5 - (2,6,6 - trimethyl cyclohexen - 1 - yl) - penta - 2 - ene - 4 - yne - oic ester; reducing said a ,b -unsaturated ester to the primary alcohol, 3-methyl-5-(2,6,6-trimethyl-cyclohexen - 1 - yl) - penta - 2 - ene - 4 - yne - 1 - ol, oxidizing said primary alcohol with acetone and a metal alkoxide to the ketone, 6-methyl-8-(2,6,6 - trimethyl cyclohexen - 1 - yl) - octa - 3,5 - diene-7-yne-2-one; subjecting the last said ketone to a Reformatsky reaction with a haloacetate and thereby forming a b -hydroxy ester 3,7 - dimethyl - 3 - hydroxy - 9 - (2,6,6 - trimethyl cyclohexen - 1 - yl) - nona - 4,6 - diene - 8-yne-oic ester; dehydrating the last said b -hydroxy ester to the a ,b -unsaturated ester, 3,7 - dimethyl - 9 - (2,6,6 - trimethyl cyclohexen - 1 - yl) - nona - 2,4,6 - triene - 8 - yne - oic ester; and hydrogenating the last said a ,b -unsaturated ester to Vitamin A ester. Alternatively 3,7 - dimethyl - 9 - (2,6,6 - trimethyl cyclohexen - 1 - yl) - nona - 2,4,6 - triene - 8 - yne - oic acid is obtained by oxidizing primary alcohol 3-methyl-5 - (2,6,6 - trimethyl cyclohexen - 1 - yl) - penta - 2 - ene - 4 - yne - 1 - ol to the aldehyde, 3 - methyl - 5 - (2,6,6 - trimethyl cyclohexen - 1 - yl)-penta-2-ene-4-1-ol; condensing said aldehyde with b -methyl glutaconic acid diester and acidifying the product of said condensing and thereby forming the diacid 4-carboxy-3,7-di-methyl - 9 - (2,6,6 - trimethyl cyclohexen - 1 - yl)-nona - 2,4,6 - triene - 8 - yne - oic acid and then decarboxylating said diacid to the monoacid. Said monoacid, 3,7-dimethyl-4-(2,6,6-trimethyl cyclohexen - 1 - yl) - nona - 2,4,6 - triene - 8 - yne-oic acid may be reduced to the corresponding alcohol which may be converted by hydrogenation to Vitamin A alcohol.
