SYNTHESIS OF SPIRO ORTHO ESTERS, SPIRO ORTHO CARBONATES, AND INTERMEDIATES

摘要

Ortho esters and ortho carbonates can be produced by alkylating esters and carbonates with, for example, the hexafluorophosphate salt of a trialkyl oxonium ion. The spiro species are useful intermediates in the synthesis of complex organic molecules. Synthetic pathways for the production of medically active compounds incorporates spiro ortho esters. Anti-first-pass effect materials are produced in high yield utilizing a synthetic strategy incorporating cyclic ortho ester intermediates.
