Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

This invention relates to methods for the synthesis of spiro[2.5]octane-5,7-dione and spiro[3.5]nonane-6,8-dione which are useful as intermediates in the manufacture of pharmaceutically active ingredients.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of preparing spiro[2.5]octane-5,7-dione having the formula said method comprising: cyclization of cyclopropylidene carboxylic acid alkyl ester having the formula with dialkyl 1,3-acetonedicarboxylate having the formula to form 5,7-dioxo-spiro[2.5]octane-4,6-dicarboxylic acid dialkyl ester having the formula wherein each R may be independently C1-C6 alkyl, and ester hydrolysis and decarboxylation of 5,7-dioxo-spiro[2.5]octane-4,6-dicarboxylic acid to form spiro[2.5]octane-5,7-dione, wherein each R may be independently C1-C6 alkyl.
