Abstract

The invention comprises the acid of the formula <FORM:0809654/IV (b)/1> and its salts and esters and their preparation by treating 6 : 61 - dithio - bis - (8 - thioloctanoic acid) or 8 : 81 - dithio - bis - (6 - thioloctanoic acid) or an alkyl ester thereof with a mild oxidizing agent such as a mixture of potassium iodide and iodine, preferably in an inert liquid reaction medium comprising a solvent such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, propanol, chloroform, ethyl acetate or butyl acetate. The esters may also be made by treating the acid with an equimolar quantity of a diazoalkane in ether. Salts are prepared by treating the acid with alkali metal or alkaline-earth metal carbonates, bicarbonates or hydroxides. The compounds are used as substitutes for a -lipoic acid. In an example, 6 : 61-dithio-bis - (8 - thioloctanoic acid) in chloroform, is treated with an aqueous solution of iodine and potassium iodide to give 3 : 10-di-(41-carboxybutyl) - 1 : 2 : 6 : 7 - tetrathiacyclo decane. Starting materials. 6 : 61 - Dithio - bis - (8-thioloctanoi acid) is made by treating 7-carbethoxy - 2 - heptenoic acid with thioacetic acid to obtain 3-acetylthio-7-carbethoxy heptanoic acid; reacting this with thionyl chloride to give 3-acetylthio-7-carbethoxy heptanoyl chloride; reducing with sodium borohydride to yield ethyl - 6 - acetylthio - 8 - hydroxyoctanoate; refluxing with sodium hydroxide in the presence of a trace of zinc dust to give 6 - thiol - 8 - hydroxyoctanoic acid; oxidizing with aqueous iodine-potassium iodide to give 6 : 61 - dithio - bis - (8 - hydroxyoctanoic acid) and condensing with thiourea to form a 6 : 61-dithio - bis }8 - [2(2 - thiopseudoureido)] - octanoic acid} which is hydrolysed to the desired bis-8-thiol.
