1,180,531. Production of 2-bornane alkyl ketones. MERCK & CO. Inc. 24 April, 1968 [1 May, 1967], No. 19392/68. Heading C2C. [Also in Division C5] 2-Bornane alkyl ketones are prepared by treating camphor with an alkylidene triphenylphosphorane to form a 2-alkylidenebornane followed by reaction with diborane and then an oxidizing agent. Alkylidene triphenylphosphoranes can be prepared by reacting dry dimethylsulphoxide with a strong base to form a methylsulphinyl carbanion followed by reaction with an alkyl triphenylphosphorane halide. Instead of diborane itself LiAlH 4 may be added to a solution of the 2-alkylidenebornane in BF 3 etherate. |
