The racemate of 2,5-dihydro-3-hydroxymethyl-2,5-dimethoxy-2-methylfuran (11), prepared from the reaction of 3-hydroxymethyl-2-methylfuran (12b), with bromine in methanol, is converted into the racemate of 4-hydroxy-2-hydroxymethylcyclopent-2-en-1-one (9a) when heated in aqueous dioxan buffered at pH 6.3.
The present invention provides: industrially desirable and novel optically-active cyclopentenone derivatives; and a novel industrial manufacturing method. The novel optically-active cyclopentenone derivatives and method for manufacturing the same are, respectively: an intermediate for industrially desirable and novel prostaglandin derivatives and the like; and a method for manufacturing the same. It is expected that the present invention will be commercialized and industrialized.
[Problem]
The present invention provides an industrially-preferable, cost-efficient, low-cost production method for 4-hydroxy-2-hydroxymethyl-2-cyclopenten-1-one (a compound represented by formula (I)) useful as a medicine, an agricultural chemical, or a raw material or intermediate of a medicine, an agricultural chemical, or the like.
[Solution]
According to the present invention, this compound represented by formula (I) is produced by subjecting an easily available compound represented by formula (II) (tri-O-acetyl-D-glucal) to a heating reaction in pressurized water.
stereoselective synthesis of (+)/(+)-pentenomycin I in 4–5 steps through regioselective silylation, optical resolution and dihydroxylation, followed by an olefin formation, from a known racemic cyclopentenone prepared from 2-deoxy-d-glucose. We also accomplished the transformation of a common intermediate into a variety of analogs. In addition, the antimicrobial activities of the pentenomycin analogs were evaluated
