Assignee:

IMC Chemical Group, Inc. - Terre Haute IN
International Classification:

C07D31300
US Classification:

26034341
Abstract:

A method is disclosed for preparing dideoxyzearalane and related compounds which comprises reacting a hexahydrozearalin with an organic sulfonyl chloride to form a sulfonate ester derivative; recovering the sulfonate ester derivative; and catalytically dehydrosulfonyloxylating and aromatizing the sulfonate ester derivative to form the desired product.

US Patent:

39578259, May 18, 1976
Filed:

Nov 27, 1974
Appl. No.:

5/527843
Inventors:

Wilbert Herbert Urry - Chicago IL
Guy Towns Mullenbach - Berkeley CA
Assignee:

Commercial Solvents Corporation - Terre Haute IN
International Classification:

C07D31300
US Classification:

2603432F
Abstract:

This invention provides a new synthesis for zearalanone and for related compounds having more or fewer carbon atoms in the non-aromatic ring than does zearalanone, which related compounds and zearalanone are represented by the formula ##SPC1## Wherein X is an integer having a value from 2 to 6 inclusive and Y is an integer having a value from 2 to 8 inclusive. It also provides for new methods of making compounds useful in the synthesis of zearalanone and related compounds. The new compounds useful as intermediates are 2,7-octadienoic acid; methyl 2,7-octadienoate; sodium ethyl 6-(4-pentenyl)-. beta. -dihydroresorcylate; ethyl 6-(4-pentenyl)-. beta. -dihydroresorcylate; sodium methyl 6-(4-pentenyl)-. beta. -dihydroresorcylate; methyl 6-(4-pentenyl)-. beta. -dihydroresorcylate; methyl 3-bromo-6-(4-pentenyl)-. beta.
