Russian Chemical Bulletin Aims and scope

Abstract

A method for the synthesis of carboxylic acid derivatives containing one or two —CH2CH n (Me)CH n+1CH2— fragments (n = 0, 1) was developed. The method is based on the alkylation of (di)alkyl malonates, cyanoacetates, and acetoacetates with acyclic prenyl halides in ionic liquids, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate and tetrafluoroborate. For the ambident ethyl acetoacetate anion, the reactions with prenyl halides devoid of a double bond in the allylic position relative to the halogen atom carried out in the ionic liquids give mixtures of C- and O-alkylation products, while in the case of allylic prenyl halides, only C-alkylation products are formed. The reactions of ethyl 2-geranylmalonate and 2-geranylacetoacetate with bromocyclohexane and 1-chloro-3-dimethylaminopropane in ionic liquids provided derivatives of pharmacologically active geranylacetic acids. The product yields are higher than those in molecular organic solvents. The ionic liquids were recovered and reused in the alkylation.
