The present invention provide a process that allows the industrially advantageous production of a cyclopentanone-2,3,5-tricarboxylic acid triester.
Namely, the present invention provides a process for producing a cyclopentanone-2,3,5-tricarboxylic acid triester represented by the general formula (IV), characterized by comprising:
(1) allowing an itaconic acid diester represented by the general formula (I) to react with a metal salt of malonic acid diester represented by the general formula (II) to obtain a reaction mixture containing an adduct represented by the general formula (III); and then
(2) allowing said reaction mixture to react with an alcohol or a metal alkoxide, or a mixture thereof:
wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, and R7 each independently represents an alkyl group which may have a substituent, and M represents an alkali metal.
本发明提供了一种工艺,可以生产出具有工业优势的环戊酮-2,3,5-三羧酸三酯。
即,本发明提供了一种生产通式(IV)代表的环戊酮-2,3,5-三羧酸三酯的工艺,其特征在于包括:
(1) 使通式(I)代表的衣康酸二酯与通式(II)代表的丙二酸二酯的金属盐反应,得到含有通式(III)代表的加合物的反应混合物;然后
(2) 使所述反应混合物与醇或金属氧化烷或它们的混合物反应:
其中,R1、R2、R3、R4、R5、R6 和 R7 各自独立地代表一个可能具有取代基的烷基,M 代表碱金属。
