A process for preparing 4-hydroxy-1,2,2-trimethylcyclopentyl methyl ketones of the general formula I, in particular of the (1R,4S)-4-hydroxy-1,2,2-trimethylcyclopentyl methyl ketone of the formula Ia ##STR1## which is required for preparing the red dye capsorubin which is in demand, starts from 2,2,6-trimethylcyclohexanones of the general formula II ##STR2## where R is hydrogen or a protective group, via the novel intermediates of the general formulae V and VI ##STR3## by diastereoselective epoxidation and reaction of the resulting 7-oxabicyclo[4.1.0]heptanes of the general formula VIII ##STR4## with Lewis acids and, where appropriate, removal of the protective group. Also claimed are the novel intermediates of the formula V and their (1S) and (1R) isomers and those of the formula VIII as well as their (1R,3S,6S), (1S,3S,6R) and (1R,3R,6S) isomers.
一种制备一般式I的4-羟基-1,2,2-三甲基环戊基甲基酮的方法,特别是制备一般式Ia的(1R,4S)-4-羟基-1,2,2-三甲基环戊基甲基酮的方法,该方法用于制备需求量大的红色染料Capsorubin,从一般式II的2,2,6-三甲基环己酮开始,其中R是氢或保护基,通过新的一般式V和VI的中间体,通过对结果的7-氧杂双环[4.1.0]庚烷一般式VIII的选择性顺式环氧化和反应,与路易斯酸反应,并在适当情况下去除保护基。还要求一般式V的新型中间体及其(1S)和(1R)异构体,以及一般式VIII的中间体及其(1R,3S,6S)、(1S,3S,6R)和(1R,3R,6S)异构体。
