F. Faria et al., PSEUDOESTERS AND DERIVATIVES .33. SYNTHES IS OF CYCLOPROPANE DERIVATIVES BY PHOTOLYSIS OF PYRAZOLINES OBTAINED BY 1,3-DIPOLAR CYCLOADDITIONTO 5-METHOXY-2(5H)-FURANONE, Anales de quimica, 91(1-2), 1995, pp. 65-73
By cycloaddition of 2-diazopropane to 5-methoxy-2(5H)-furanone (1) two
regioisomeric 1-pyrazolines 3 and 4 are stereospecifically obtained.
Both isomers give by photolysis, as major or sole compound, the same c
yclopropane derivative 7. Hydrolysis of the bicyclic compound 7, follo
wed by esterification, leads to cis open chain derivatives, which are
appropriately functionalized for the synthesis of pyrethroids. A simil
ar set of reactions, using diazomethane-d(2) as dipolarophile, affords
selectively deuterated cyclopropane derivatives.
