Description
PROCESS FOR PREPARING CIS-OLEFINS (HOE 73/F 336) Stereospecific syntheses of olefins according to Wittig's reaction by means of salt-free ylides are already known (see: Angew. Chem. 78 (1966), 677). Such ylide solutions had to be prepared hitherto according to the technically complicated sodium-amide method (Liebigs Ann. Chem. 619, (1958), 10; Angew. Chem. 77 (1965), 609).
The present invention provides an improved process for preparing cis-olefins of the formula H H - R - C = C - R , III wherein R is straight-chain or branched (C^-C^)alkyl or alkenyl and straight-chain or branched alkyl or (C2-C20) alkenyl group both being optionally substituted in 3-position double bound or in farther position relative to the ^I4ehyde-g¾ by hydroxy, lower carbalkoxy or (C C^) acyloxy, which comprises dissolving an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal in a hexaalkylphosphoric acid triamide, adding to the solution obtained a phosphonium salt of the formula Φ Θ R-CH2-P(C6H5)3Br , I and adding to the reaction mixture obtained an aldehyde the formula and isolating the product obtained by known methods.
Suitable alkali metals or alkaline earth metals are preferably lithium, sodium and magnesium, especially potassium, furthermore calcium, strontium and baryum.
The alkyl groups in the hexaalkylphosphoric acid triamide may be identical or different and 1 to 4, especially 1 or 2 carbon atoms. The well-known easily^ obtainable hexamethylphosphoric acid triamide is especially preferred.
The process is generally carried out as follows: Crushed alkali metal or alkaline earth metal is introduced under nitrogen atmosphere into the hexaalkylphosphoric acid triamide while stirring or shaking, whereby the original blue color of the solution turns reddish-brown. For reasons of ¾implicity the dissolution is effected at room temperature, but may be carried out generally at temperatures of from 10 to 80°CV preferably from 15 to 30°C. When the alkaline earth metal or alkali metal has dissolved completely after approximately 1 to 3 hours, an equivalent quantity or optionally an excess of calculated on the metal up to 20 %f/ preferably up to 10 % of a phosphonium salt of formula I, wherein R preferably contains up to 10 carbon atoms, is added to the solution. The phosphonium salts may be obtained by known processes for instance by reacting corresponding ÷ 0<-bromosubstituted compounds with triphenyl phosphine. The phosphonium salt may be added as such or preferably in the form of a suspension in hexamethylphosphoric acid triamide. The quantity of hexamethylphosphoric acid triamide required per milli-mole of phosphonium salt or per milliequivalent of alkali metal or alkaline earth metal is generally in the range from 0.5 to 5 ml or more, preferably from 0.8 to 2 ml. The upper limit is not critical.
An aldehyde of formula II is then added to the ylide solution obtained. In these aldehydes R' preferably contains 2 to 15 carbon atoms and may be substituted (preferably in terminal position by hydroxy, lower carbalkoxy or lower acyloxy, preferably a formyloxy or acetoxy group.
The reaction mixture is stirred at the chosen reaction ^ temperature until the reaction is complete (at room temperature after about 8 to 15 hours). The olefin formed is isolated in known manner, for example by distillation or, in the case of to higher boiling compounds, by pouring on/ice and subsequent extraction.
The aldehyde may as well be prepared in situ by oxidizing the ylide solution, for example by means of dry oxygen.
In this manner symmetric cis-olefins of the formula H H I I R - C = C - R Ilia are obtained, having a degree of purity of more than 95 % according to gaschromatographic and spectroscopic analyses. compounds of the invention They/are valuable intermediates for organic syntheses and a series of these compounds has a pheromone effect on a number of lepidoptera.
The following examples illustrate the invention.
E X A M P L E 11 Preparation of Ylide solution Finely cut potassium was introduced in absolute hexa-methylphosphoric acid triamide under a nitrogen atmosphere. up The dark blue solution obtained heated/after about 15 minutes, turning reddish-brown. After 1 to 3 hours, when the potassium was completely dissolved^ a suspension of an equivalent quantity of a phosphonium salt of formula I in absolute hexamethyl-phosphoric acid triamide was added.
E X A M P L E 2: Preparation of cis-octene (4) A ylide solution was prepared from 2.2 g (55 millimoles) of potassium and 20 g (50 millimoles) of triphenyl-n-butyl ' phosphonium bromide in 100 ml of hexamethylphosphoric acid triamide according to example 1 and 4.0 g (55 millimoles) of butyraldehyde were added. After 12 hours the octene(4) obtained was distilled from the reaction solution. It was. taken up in pentane, the solution washed subsequently with diluted sulfuric acid, sodium hydrogen sulfite and water and dried with sodium sulfate. The pentane was removed from the octene(4) by distilling it over a Vigreux .column. The remaining crude product was distilled.

The dimethylamine formed in this process was removed in vacuo as far as possible while excluding humidity. After stirring for 4 hours 20 millimoles (4.0 g) of 9-acetoxy-nonanal were added while cooling with water, the whole was stirred over night and the reaction mixture was poured on ice water acidified with a small quantity of diluted sulfuric acid.
The unsaturated ester was extracted with n-hexane.
The combined hexane extracts were washed with diluted sulfuric^ acid in order to remove small quantities of hexamethylphos-phoric acid triamide. Unreacted aldehyde was separate'd from the unsaturated ester via the hydrogerysulfite addition compound and triphenylphosphine formed during the reaction via triphenyl-methyl phosphonium iodide. Small quantities of triphenyl y phosphine oxide extracted by n-hexane completely cristallized during the night at about -25°C and were filtered off with suction.
