Preparation of 4-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-hydroxy-5-methylfuran-2(5H)-one
Figure imgf000011_0001
1-(4-Chlorophenyl)propan-2-one (40.00 g, 34.75 mL, 237.2 mmol), glyoxylic acid monohydrate (32.75 g, 355.8 mmol) and phosphoric acid (69.74 g, 711.7 mmol) were combined at room temperature before heating to 85 °C overnight. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was poured into a mixture of water (500 mL) and ethyl acetate (500 mL). The layers were separated and the aqueous phase extracted with ethyl acetate (500 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with a 1 :1 mixture of water and brine (2 x 500 mL), dried (MgSC ) and concentrated under reduced pressure to yield 4-(4- chlorophenyl)-5-hydroxy-5-methylfuran-2(5H)-one (66.00 g, >100% yield) as a brown oil. The material was used in the next step without further purification. Preparation of 4-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-hydroxy-5-methyl-1 H-pyrrol-2(5H)-one

Materials Used
In the following examples, the lactam used was lactam 488.
This is 4-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-methylene-pyrrol-2-one and the structure is shown below:-
Figure imgf000015_0001
Solvents investigated
EtOH - ethanol
MeOH - methanol
DMSO - dimethyl sufoxide
MPG - monopropylene glycol
MeCN - acetonitrile
CPME - cyclopentyl methylether
2MeTHF - 2-methyltetrahydrofuran
Ethyl levulinate
LGK - ethyl levulinate glycerol ketal (LGK)
Example 2
This example shows the effect of the different solvents on the solubility of the lactam. 250-350 mg of lactam 488 (Vasant 99%) was added to 10ml of the tabulated solvents, until visibly saturated and placed on bottle rollers for 72hrs. The resultant saturated solutions were filtered using a 1 pm syringe filter to remove any insoluble material remaining.
For quantification of lactam in solution, 10pl of the stock was added to 4990pl of ethanol to ensure less than 0.1 mg/ml (100 ppm) of lactam 488 in 0.2% chosen solvent and 99.6% ethanol. Lactam concentration in plate was calculated against a calibration of known EtOH/Lactam solutions, and then multiplied by the dilution factor (500) to determine the actual lactam level in saturated solution (Lactam max solubility mg/ml in table 1).
Figure imgf000016_0001
Table 1 - Shows the lactam solubility (mg/ml) in various solvents along with where known various theoretical solubility parameters *denotes comparative solvents
The solvents according to the invention provided good to excellent solubility of the lactam (greater than ~7.5mg/ml). Notably some comparative surfactants performed much worse than expected from their theoretical solubility parameters. Notably, the level of lactam solubility is markedly different from expected based on theoretical solubility parameters (Hansen or Hildebrand solubility parameters) for the most preferred solvents: 2-methyltetrahydrofuran, ethyl levulinate, and ethyl levulinate glycerol ketal (LGK).
