Preparation and Cyclization of Some B-Keto-Y-Phthalimidoaliphatic Esters

Abstract

The preparation of (a.-phthalimidoacyl)malonates via mixed anhydrides (Ila, b) and subsequent monodeethoxycarbonylation into the (a.-phthalimidoacyl)acetates (IVa, b) is described. Cyclization ·of (Illa) with hydroxylamine led to 3-(phthalimidomethyl)isoxazolin- 5-one-4-carboxylic acid (VI), while the malonate derivative (IIIb), when reacted with hydrazine, gave 4-ethoxycarbonyl-3-(a.-phthalimidoethyl) pyrazolin-5-one (VII). The ketalization of ethyl (phthalimidoacetyl) acetate (!Va) with methyl orthoformate gave methyl (phthalimidoacetyl)acetate dimethyl ketal (V). The structure of the obtained compounds is discussed on the basis of their 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectra, in some cases supported by infrared data
