Chapter 18, Problem 57DSP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The identity of the compound X in the given reaction isto be determined.

Concept Introduction:

During the Baeyer Villiger oxidation of ketones, an oxygen atom is inserted between the carbonyl group and one of the carbons attached to it. The product formed is an ester.

Usually, the oxygen atom is inserted between the carbonyl and the larger of the two groups attached to the carbonyl.

The ketone is converted to the conjugate acid of the ester. Further hydrolysis of the conjugated acid forms the ester.

The peroxy acid used is converted to the corresponding carboxylic acid.

The alkyl group migrates with retention of configuration.

Doxaprost, an orally active bronchodilator patterned after the natural prostaglandins , is synthesized in the following series of reactions starting with ethyl 2-oxocyclopentanecarboxylate. Except for the Nef reaction in Step 8, we have seen examples of all other types of reactions involved in this synthesis. Q. Write equations to show that Step 6 can be brought about using either methanol or diazomethane (CH2N2) as a source of the -CH3 in the methyl ester.
The following questions pertain to the esters shown and behavior under conditions of the Claisen condensation.(a) Two of these esters are converted to β-keto esters in good yield on treatment with sodium ethoxide and subsequent acidification of the reaction mixture. Which two are these? Write the structure of the Claisen condensation product of each one. (b) One ester is capable of being converted to a β-keto ester on treatment with sodium ethoxide, but the amount of β-keto ester that can be isolated after acidification of the reaction mixture is quite small. Which ester is this? (c) One ester is incapable of reaction under conditions of the Claisen condensation. Which one? Why?
