Effect of Calcium Reagents on Aldol Reactions of Phenolic Enolates with Aldehydes in Alcohol.
-The aldol-type reaction of phenolic enolates derived from (I) and its analogues with not only water-soluble aldehydes but also hydrophobic aldehydes in MeOH is achieved using divalent metal reagents such as CaCl2/KOH and Ca(OH)2. Their effectiveness is attributed to their ability as Lewis acids to activate the carbonyl group of the aldehyde.
Methyl benzoates with only one hydroxyl group in o-or p-position do not produce any addition products. Aliphatic aldehydes react slowly; the unsaturated aldehyde citral (VIII) forms an intermediate (IX) which cyclizes to the benzopyran (X). This sequence is successfully applied to the one-pot synthesis of racemic cannabichromevarinic acid ( XIII). -(SAIMOTO, H.; YOSHIDA,
