Diazomethane → HCID 15053006, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

The corresponding 2-(5-ethoxyhept-1-yl) homologs are prepared by substituting an equivalent amount of 1-chloro-5-ethoxyheptane in the Grignard reaction of Example 1 in place of the 5-methoxy homolog and using the reaction sequence shown above to prepare first the 3-(5-ethoxyhept-1-yl)cyclopentene, which is then converted to the 6,6-dichloro-2-(5-ethoxyhept-1-yl)bicyclo[3.2.0]heptan-7-one {7,7-dichloro-4-(5-ethoxyheptyl)bicyclo[3.2.0]heptan-6-one} of this invention. The diazomethane reaction described for the methoxy homolog produces the 6,6-dichloro-2-(5-ethoxyhept-1yl) bicyclo[3.3.0]octan-7-one {7,7-dichloro-4-(5-ethoxyheptyl)bicyclo[3.2.0]heptan-6-one}.
