Control of degradation reactions of carbohydrates and their applications to short-step syntheses of useful synthetic intermediates by using D-glucono-1, 5-lactone, D-glucopyranuronic acid, and D-glucofuranurono-6, 3-lactone as starting materials are described.
The conversion of carbohydrate derivatives to useful synthetic intermediates is successfully achieved by alcoholysis of the degradation products obtained under acetylation conditions.
Under acetylation conditions, mono-unsaturated derivatives of D-glucono-1, 5-lactone and D-glucopyranuronic acid, α-pyrone derivatives, butenolide derivatives, a sorbic acid derivative, comanic acid, etc. are obtained from D-glucono-1, 5-lactone, tetraacetate of D-glucopyranuronic acid, and triacetate of D-glucofuranurono-6, 3-lactone in high yields.
4, 5-Mono-unsaturated derivative of D-glucopyranuronic acid and α-pyrone derivatives are selectively converted to cyclopentenone derivatives under alcoholysis conditions in the presence of base. On the other hand, 2, 3-mono-unsaturated derivative of D-glucono-1, 5-lactone affords furan derivative under alcoholysis conditions using acid as catalyst.
Further, 4-hydroky-4-methoxycarbonyl-2-cyclopentenone, prepared from D-glucono-1, 5-lactone via α-pyrone derivative, is successfully degraded to afford a valuable synthetic intermediate, 1, 3-cyclopentanedione.
