Summary
Submittingcis- andtrans-11,13-dibromo-9,10-dimethoxy-9,10-propanoanthracen-12-one (4a,b) toFavorskii conditions (MeOH/KOH, 60°C) afforded theFavorskii ester5a and the α-keto acetal5b in 46% overall yield. Almost all reactions resulted in the formation of a single isomer which could be shown to be the most favored one by molecular mechanics calculations (MM2).
Zusammenfassung
UnterFavorskii-Bedingungen (MeOH/KOH, 60°C) entstehen auscis- undtrans-11,13-Dibrom-9,10-dimethoxy-9,10-propanoanthracen-12-on derFavorskii-Ester5a und das α-Keto-Acetal5b in 46% Gesamtausbeute. Fast alle Reaktionen ergeben ein einziges Isomeres, von dem mittels molekularmechanischer Berechnungen gezeigt werden konnte, daß es sich dabei um das energetisch günstigere Produkt handelt.
