Conversion of 2-Alkyl-2-(2-oxopropyl)cyclopentane-1,3-diones into 2,3,5- and 2,3,4-Trisubstituted Cyclopent-2-enones by Intramolecular Aldolizations to 2,3-Diacylcyclopropanolates Followed by Remarkable Skeletal Rearrangements1
摘要:
2-Alkyl-2-(prop-2-ynyl)cyclopentane-1,3-diones 2, conveniently prepared from 2-alkylcyclopentane-1,3-diones 1 and prop-2-ynyl bromide, afford the triketones 3 by Hg2+-catalyzed hydration of the acetylenic triple bond. Treatment of these triketones with aqueous sodium hydroxide gives rise to the 2,3,5-trisubstituted cyclopent-2-enones 5, which are accompanied by the isomeric 2,3,4-trisubstituted cyclopent-2-enones 7 as byproducts. The formation of these isomers can be avoided, when the 2,2-disubstituted cyclopentane-1,3-diones 2 are first converted by ring cleavage into the 5-alkyl-4-oxooct-7-ynaic acids 4 and then by subsequent hydration into the 5-alkyl-4,7-dioxoalkanoic acids 6. An intramolecular aldolization of the latter forms exclusively the cyclopentenones 5. A mechanism explaining the simultaneous formation of 5 and 7 from 3 is based on the formation of the 2,3-diacylcyclopropanolates 11 and 16 by intramolecular aldolization and subsequent ring opening to the 2-acetylcyclohexane-1,4-diones 13 and 18. A further ring opening to the 4,7-dioxoalkanoates 15 and 20 followed by intramolecular aldol condensation then gives rise to the isomeric trisubstituted cyclopent-2-enones 5 and 7.

4-diones (3-acetyl-2-alkylcyclohex-3-en-4-olones) by treatment with an equimolar amount of sodium hydroxide in water or sodium methoxide in methanol. This ring enlargement can be considered as the result of an intramolecular aldol reaction followed by a ring opening of the formed bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane system.
