A new route to (+/-)-erythro-roccellic acid and chaetomellic anhydride C through functional rearrangement, promoted by n-propylamine or CH3ONa/CH3OH, of N-propyl-3-chloro-4-dichloromethyl-3-dodecylpyrrolidin-2-one

Abstract

The rearrangement of a trichloro-pyrrolidin-2-one, prepared by the CuCl-TMEDA catalyzed atom transfer radical cyclization of N-alkyl-N-(3-chloro-2-propenyl)-2,2-dichloromyristamide, with n-propylamine or CH3ONa/CH3OH, is the key step of a new, short and inexpensive route to chaetomellic anhydride C and (+/-)-erythro-roccellic acid.
