Alkylation of Dimethyl Acetonedicarboxylate with Halogen Compounds
摘要
The alkylation of dimethyl acetonedicarboxylate with halogen derivatives in the presence of potassium carbonate in dimethyl sulfoxide at 60–70°C led to the formation of C- and O-alkylation products. The O-alkyl derivatives rearranged to the corresponding C-alkyl isomer on heating above 180°C. The reactions of the title compound with ethyl 2-bromopropanoate and 1,3-dichloroacetone under similar conditions involved both methylene groups of the substrate. The product of O-alkylation of dimethyl acetonedicarboxylate with bromoacetaldehyde diethyl acetal is stable up to 200°C; however, hydrolysis of the acetal moiety gave the corresponding aldehyde which isomerized to C-(2-oxoethyl) derivative, followed by intramolecular cyclization to substituted furan. The reaction of dimethyl acetonedicarboxylate with chloroacetonitrile produced C-(cyanomethyl) derivative which cyclized to α-aminofuran in acidic medium.
