Synthesis of 2,4,8,10-Tetraoxaspiro[5.5]undecane-3,9-diylbis(methylene) Bis[3- or 4-(2,5-dioxo-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)benzoates]
摘要
Abstract
The reaction of potassium m- and p-aminobenzoates with 3,9-bis(bromomethyl)-2,4,8,10-tetraoxaspiro[5.5]undecane at a molar ratio of 2:1 gave 2,4,8,10-tetraoxaspiro[5.5]undecane-3,9-diylbis(methylene) bis(3- and 4-aminobenzoates). The latter reacted with 2 equiv of maleic anhydride to produce the corresponding bis-maleamic acids whose intramolecular cyclization in the presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid afforded previously unknown 2,4,8,10-tetraoxaspiro[5.5]undecane-3,9-diylbis(methylene) bis[3- and 4-(2,5-dioxo-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)benzoates].
