Condensation of 4-Substituted 2-Ethoxycarbonyl-4-pentanolides with , -Unsaturated Compounds
摘要:
Condensation of 4-substituted 2-ethoxycarbonyl-4-pentanolides with methyl acrylate and acrylonitrile under Michael reaction conditions in the presence of sodium methylate affords 4-substituted 2-ethoxycarbonyl-2-(2-methoxycarbonyl- or cyano)ethyl-4-pentanolides. The latter were subjected to alkaline hydrolysis, and 4-substituted 2-carboxy-2-(2-carboxyethyl)-4-pentanolides were isolated which on decarboxylation yielded 4-substituted 2-(2-carboxyethyl)-4-pentanolides. The partial hydrolysis of 2-ethoxy-carbonyl-2-(2-cyanoethyl)-4-pentanolides gave rise to previously unknown cyanolactones.
