Novel method for the degradation of the carbon chain of organic acids and their derivatives

Abstract: A convenient scheme for the stepwise degradation of ethyl caprinate (1) is described, which allows the removal of either one, two, or three carbon fragments from the chain, affording high yields of the corresponding carbonyl compounds. The method may have important applications in the transformations of steroids, lipids, and other natural products.

Chromatography of the residue on alumina, activity IV, and elution with cyclohexane gave a pale yellow oil whose distillation [150°( 0.05 Torr)] yielded 1.80 g of colorless liquid diester 9a: ir (neat) C=0 5.81 (s), C=C 6.11 (w), 6.31 (m), 6.50 µ (m); pmr (CC14) 1.68 [d, 3, J = 7.0 Hz, Ále of major (88%) isomer], 2.25 [d, S, J = 7.0 Hz, Me of minor (12%) isomer], 3.62, 3.82 (s, 3 each, methoxyls), 7.05 [d, 1, J = 5.0 Hz, C(5) ], 7.07 (q, 1, J = 7.0 Hz, olefinic H), 8.65 [d, 1, / = 5.0 Hz, C(6) ], 9.10 [s, 1, C(2) ].

“…The conversion of a carboxylic acid (or derivative) to an aldehyde or ketone with loss of one carbon atom plays an important role in organic chemistry. 1,2 This degradation is an important tool in the structural elucidation and characterization of natural products. 3 It also allows carboxylic acid derivatives to serve as synthetic equivalents of other structural fragments.…”
