DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The source of peroxide ions includes reagents such as hydrogen peroxide, peroxy acids (e.g. peroxy(C1 -C4)alkanoic acids), sodium perborate or a hydrate thereof, and sodium percarbonate, which are used in the presence of water. Preferably hydrogen peroxide, sodium perborate tetrahydrate or sodium percarbonate is used. Most preferably hydrogen peroxide is used.
The skilled man will appreciate that a certain amount of water must be present in the reaction mixture so that peroxide ions may be generated from the reagent.
The reaction is preferably carried out using hydrogen peroxide in the presence of water.
The reaction is preferably carried out in a suitable solvent in the presence of acid or base. Although the reaction does proceed slowly under neutral conditions, it has been found that acidic or basic reaction conditions accelerate the rate.
Suitable solvents for the reaction include C1 -C6 alkanols and toluene.
Preferably the solvent is methanol, tert-butanol or toluene.
Most preferably the solvent is tert-butanol.
When the reaction is carried out in the presence of acid, preferred acids include mineral acids and C1 -C4 alkanoic acids.
Preferably the acid is sulphuric acid or acetic acid. The reaction may also be carried out using a C1 -C4 alkanoic acid as the solvent in the absence of an additional acid. Acetic acid is preferred.
When the reaction is carried out in the presence of base, preferred bases include sodium or potassium hydroxide, carbonate or bicarbonate.
Preferably the base is sodium hydroxide or sodium or potassium bicarbonate.
Sodium percarbonate is a basic reagent per se and is typically not used in the presence of acid or a further base.
The reaction conditions and, in particular, the solvent and the nature and/or concentration of the acid or base used in the process provided by the present invention are chosen such that the reaction proceeds safely and at a favorable rate, without hydrolysis or transesterification of the ester functionality in the starting material (II) or product (I) occurring.
A preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a process for preparing a compound of the formula (I), or a base salt thereof, comprising reaction of a compound of the formula (II) with
(a) aqueous hydrogen peroxide in
(i) a suitable organic solvent in the presence of an acid,
(ii) a suitable organic solvent in the presence of a base, or
(iii) a C1 -C4 alkanoic acid;
(b) sodium perborate, or a hydrate thereof, in a C1 -C4 alkanoic acid; or
(c) sodium percarbonate in a suitable organic solvent in the presence of water: said process being optionally followed by a conversion of the compound of the formula (I) to a base salt thereof,
wherein R1, R2 and R3 are as previously defined for compounds of the formulae (I) and (II).
A most preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a process for preparing a compound of the formula (I), or a base salt thereof, comprising reaction of a compound of the formula (II) with
(a) aqueous hydrogen peroxide in
(i) tert-butanol or toluene in the presence of a catalytic amount of sulphuric acid,

Sodium perborate is commercially available in several different hydrate forms, although the tetrahydrate (e.g. available from the Aldrich Chemical Company Ltd.) is preferred for the purpose of the present invention. Sodium perborate tetrahydrate may be formulated as either NaBO3.4H2 O or NaBO2.H2 O2.3H2 O and provides a source of peroxide ions in aqueous solution:
 B(OH).sub.3 (O.sub.2 H)!.sup.- +H.sub.2 O→ B(OH).sub.4 !.sup.- +H.sub.2 O.sub.2
(see F. A. Cotton and G. Wilkinson, Advanced Inorganic Chemistry, 5th Edition, page 172).
Sodium percarbonate is a commercially available (e.g. from Fluka Chemicals Ltd.) bleaching agent and provides a source of peroxide ions in the presence of water. The molecular formula is generally represented as Na2 CO3.3/2 H2 O2 (see Chem. Lett., 1986, 665-6).
Alkyl and alkoxy groups containing 3 or more carbon atoms and C4 -alkanoic acids may be straight or branched chain.
The process provided by the present invention may be carried out according to the following methods:
1. In a typical procedure, a stirred solution of a compound of the formula (II) in a suitable organic solvent, e.g. t-butanol or toluene, is cautiously treated with an aqueous (typically about 30 weight %) solution of hydrogen peroxide and a catalytic amount of a suitable acid, e.g. sulphuric acid, preferably maintaining the reaction temperature at below 50° C., most preferably at about room temperature, throughout the addition. The reaction is further stirred at room temperature for up to 24 hours although longer reaction times may be necessary. The product of the formula (I) is isolated and purified using conventional techniques.
2. In a typical procedure, a stirred solution of compound of the formula (II) in a suitable organic solvent, e.g. C1 -C4 alkanol such as tert-butanol or methanol, is cautiously treated with a suitable base, e.g. sodium or potassium hydroxide or bicarbonate, and an aqueous (typically about 30 weight %) solution of hydrogen peroxide, maintaining the reaction temperature at from 0° C. to 50° C. throughout the additions.

3. In a typical procedure, a stirred solution of a compound of the formula (II) in a C1 -C4 alkanoic acid, e.g. acetic acid, is cautiously treated with an aqueous (typically about 30 weight %) solution of hydrogen peroxide, maintaining the reaction temperature at below 40° C. throughout the addition to avoid hydrolysis of the ester functionalility. The reaction is further stirred at room temperature for up to 24 hours. The product of the formula (I) is isolated and purified using conventional techniques.

The starting materials of the formula (II) may be prepared by a Michael addition reaction as illustrated in Scheme 1, using comparable reaction conditions to those described by Kryshtal et al, Synthesis, 1979!, 107. ##STR5## wherein R1, R2 and R3 are as previously defined for a compound of the formula (I).
In a typical procedure, an acrylate derivative of the formula (IV) is added to a stirred mixture of a compound of the formula (III), potassium carbonate and a catalytic amount of benzyltriethylammonium chloride in toluene at about room temperature, and the reaction further stirred at from room temperature to 50° C., preferably at about 40° C., for up to 24 hours. The product of the formula (II) is isolated and purified using conventional techniques.
The reaction may also be performed in the absence of benzyltriethylammonium chloride by reacting a compound of the formula (III) with an acrylate derivative of the formula (IV) in the presence of a suitable base, e.g. potassium carbonate or potassium tert-botoxide, in a suitable organic solvent, e.g. a C1 -C4 tert-butanol) or acetonitrile, at about room temperature. When R2 is other than hydrogen in this reaction and potassium tert-butoxide is used as the base, it is preferably added to the reaction mixture at about -10° C. and this is followed by a period of stirring of the reaction at from 0° C. to room temperature. The product of the formula (II) is isolated and purified by conventional techniques.
The compounds of the formula (III) and the acrylate derivatives of the formula (IV) arc either known compounds which may also be commercially available, or are prepared by conventional methods in accordance with literature precedents.
A base salt of a compound of the formula (I) may be prepared by mixing together solutions containing approximately equimolar amounts of a compound of the formula (I) and a suitable base. The base salt is recovered by filtration or by filtration or by evaporation of the solvent.
