A method for synthesizing a wide variety of bicyclic lactones, as represented generally by the following structures (la) and (lb)
wherein A= represents the group,
which has had an additional hydrogen atom removed from a ring-carbon to form a carbon-oxygen bond between said ring-carbon and the oxygen atom in the lactone ring; and wherein each of R1, R3, R4, R5, R6, and R8 are independently selected from the group consisting of-H and-CH3; R2 is selected from the group consisting of -H,-CH3, and -C2H5; R7 is hydrogen; or with respect to structure (la), R7 together with R3, or if R2 and R3 are both groups other than hydrogen, together with R8 may represent a carbon-carbon bond; and wherein m is an integer from 1 to 5; o is 0,1,2, or3; and p is 0, 1, or2; providedthatthe sum of m+o+p is an integer from 3 to 5.
When the desired lactone is represented by formula (Ib) above, the method of the present invention comprises heating under aqueous acidic conditions a beta, gamma-unsaturated cyclic nitrile having the formula (II),
wherein R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R8, m, o and p are as defined above, to form the desired bicyclic lactone. When the desired lactone is represented by Formula la above, an aldehyde having the formula (III),
wherein R, is as defined above, is employed as an additional reactant.
一种合成各种双环内酯的方法,一般由以下结构(la)和(lb)表示
其中 A= 代表以下基团
其中 R1、R3、R4、R5、R6 和 R8 各自独立地选自由-H 和-CH3 组成的组;R2 选自由-H、-CH3 和-C2H5 组成的组;R7 是氢;或者对于结构 (la),R7 与 R3 一起,或者如果 R2 和 R3 都是氢以外的基团,则 R7 与 R8 一起可代表碳-碳键;其中 m 是 1 至 5 的整数;o 是 0、1、2 或 3;p 是 0、1 或 2;条件是 m+o+p 之和是 3 至 5 的整数。
当所需内酯由上式(Ib)表示时,本发明的方法包括在酸性水溶液条件下加热具有 式(II)的β、γ-不饱和环腈、
其中 R2、R3、R4、R5、R6、R8、m、o 和 p 如上定义,以形成所需的双环内酯。当所需内酯由上式 la 表示时,可使用具有式(III)的醛、
其中 R 如上文所定义,用作额外的反应物。
