Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for the preparation of a sex pheromone of Obscure Mealy bug (OMB), (±)(2,3,4,4-tetramethycyclopentyl) methyl acetate includes a step of subjecting alpha-halotetramethylcyclohexanone to a Favorskii rearrangement to obtain a 2,3,4,4-tetramethylcyclopentane compound (2), a step of subjecting the compound (2) to reduction to obtain (2,3,4,4-tetramethylcyclopentyl)methanol compound (3) and a step of subjection the compound (3) to acylation to obtain a (2,3,4,4-tetramethylcyclopentyl)methyl carboxylate compound (4).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for the preparation of a (2,3,4,4-tetramethylcyclopentyl)methyl carboxylate compound, comprising a step of subjecting alpha-halotetramethylcyclohexanone corresponding to the following general formula (1a) or (1b): wherein X is a chlorine atom or a bromine atom, to a Favorskii rearrangement to obtain a 2,3,4,4-tetramethylcyclopentane compound corresponding to the following general formula (2): wherein R 1 is a hydrogen atom or a monovalent C 1-15 hydrocarbon group, a step of subjecting 2,3,4,4-tetramethylcyclopentane compound (2) to reduction to obtain (2,3,4,4-tetramethylcyclopentyl)methanol corresponding to the following general formula (3): and a step of subjecting (2,3,4,4-tetramethylcyclopentyl)methanol (3) to acylation to obtain a (2,3,4,4-tetramethylcyclopentyl)methyl carboxylate compound corresponding to the following general formula (4): wherein R 2 is a monovalent C 1-15 hydrocarbon group. 2. Alpha-halotetramethylcyclohexanone corresponding to the following general formula (1a) or (1b): wherein X is a chlorine atom or a bromine atom. 3. A method for the preparation of alpha-halotetramethyl-cyclohexanone, comprising a step of hydrogenating 3,5,5-trimetyl-4-methylidene-2-cyclohexene-1-one corresponding to the following formula (5): to obtain 3,3,4,5-tetramethylcyclohexane-1-one corresponding to the following formula (6): and a step of subjecting 3,3,4,5-tetramethylcyclohexane-1-one (6) to halogenation to obtain alpha-halotetramethylcyclohexanone corresponding to said general formula (1a) or (1b).
