The invention comprises caffeic esters of quinic acid and quinide of the respective general formul <FORM:0802668/IV (b)/1> <FORM:0802668/IV (b)/2> wherein T is H or a caffeyl (3,4-dihydroxycinnamoyl) group, W is a caffeyl or a diacyl- or carbonyl-caffeyl group, particular compounds being 1-diacetylcaffeyl-quinide, 1-caffeyl-quinide, and 1,4-dicaffeyl-quinic acid, also a process for their preparation by condensing the acid chloride or anhydride of a diacyl or carbonyl caffeic acid with quinide or a 4,5-dialkylidene derivative of the general formula <FORM:0802668/IV (b)/3> (wherein each Z is H or conjointly form an alkylidene group) to form a quinide ester of formula (IV), in which T = H and W = a diacylor carbonyl-caffeyl group, or an intermediate of general formula <FORM:0802668/IV (b)/4> wherein both Y's are conjointly an alkylidene group, or Y at position 4 is a diacyl- or carbonylcaffeyl group and Y at position 5 is H, R1 is an acyl group or both R1 conjointly represent a carbonyl group, and submitting this intermediate to a selective hydrolysis. The condensation is preferably effected at between 110 DEG and 180 DEG C., or at between 0 DEG and 100 DEG C. in the presence of a tertiary base, e.g. pyridine, triethylamine, ethyl piperidine, dimethylaniline or an inorganic base, e.g. an alkali or alkaline earth metal carbonate, bicarbonate, oxide or hydroxide, and using an inert solvent, e.g. dioxane or ethylene glycol-dimethyl or -diethyl ether. The selective hydrolysis of (IX) is carried out (a) on compounds (IX) wherein Y at C4 is a substituted caffeyl group and Y at C5 is H by treatment with 3 per cent barium hydroxide, yielding 1,4-dicaffeyl-quinic acid; (b) on compounds (IX) (Y's together are isopropylidene) with dilute mineral acids at 0-20 DEG C. or aqueous acetic acid at 80-100 DEG C. giving a 1-diacylcaffeyl-quinide; or directly by heating with water or first with cold mineral acids and then with 3 per cent barium hydroxide to give 1-caffeyl-quinide. In examples: (1) caffeic acid in aqueous sodium bicarbonate is treated with phosgene, and the resulting carbonylcaffeic acid treated with PCl5 giving carbonylcaffeyl chloride, which is heated with quinide and the product treated with 3 per cent barium hydroxide solution giving 1,4 dicaffeyl-quinic acid; (2) quinide is heated with diacetylcaffeyl chloride and pyridine and the product hydrolysed as in (1) to 1,4-dicaffeylquinic acid; (3) as in (2), but using carboxylcaffeyl chloride; (4) carbonylcaffeyl chloride is heated with isopropylidene quinide under vacuum, then refluxed with water giving 1-caffeyl-quinide; (5) diacetylcaffeic anhydride is condensed with quinide and hydrolysed as in (1) to 1,4-dicaffeyl-quinic acid; (6) diacetylcaffeyl chloride is heated with isopropylidene quinide, the product treated at 100 DEG C. with aqueous acetic acid and the resulting 1-diacetylcaffeyl quinide after heating with diacetylcaffeyl chloride under vacuum is saponified with barium hydroxide to 1,4-dicaffeyl-quinic acid. Starting materials. 3,4-Diacyl-caffeic acids are prepared by reaction of caffeic acid with the appropriate acid chlorides or anhydrides (e.g. acetyl, propionyl or benzoyl chlorides or anhydrides); subsequent reaction with thionyl chloride, PCl5, PCl3, oxalyl chloride or POCl3 gives the corresponding 3,4 - diacyl - caffeyl chlorides. |
