Fig. 6 Monodendrons based on the 3,5-AB2 arborescence with 3,4-bis( -dodecan-l-yloxy)benzoyl ether terminal groups (X = C02Me, CO2H, CH2OH R = OC12H25)...

Similarly, Trost and O Boyle [97] found during their total synthesis of (-)-ushikulide A 177 that gold(I)-catalyzed spirocycUzation of, 3-anti-txio 178a afforded the unsaturated 6,6-spiroacetal 179 in good yield (Scheme 42). The unsaturated product was, however, undesired (cf. 179 to ushikulide A, 177) and protection of the alcohol as a benzoyl ether was required to prevent elimination. 

Heat together under very efficient water reflux 1 g. of freshly fused dry powdered ZnClg, 2 ml. of diethyl ether and 0 5 g. of 3,5 -dinitrobenzoyl chloride for 2 hours. Shake the product with 5 ml. of water and ther add 10% NaOH solution until all the ZnCl, and excess of 3,5-dinitro> benzoyl chloride and 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid have gone into solution. Filter at the pump and recrystallise from petroleum (b.p. 40-60°) to obtain ethyl 3,5-dinitrobenzoate, m.p. 93°. (M ps. of other 3,5 dinitro-benzoates, p. 536.)... 

Nitroamlines. Acetyl derivatives (p. 388), Benzoyl derivatives (p. 388). Diamines. Diacet> l derivatives (p. 388), Dibenzoyl derivatives (p. 388). Halogeno-hydrocarbons, a-Naphthyl ethers (from reactive halogen compounds, p. 391, and their Picratcs, p. 394), Nitro-derivatives (p.39i). Carboxylic acid (if oxidisable side chain) (p. 393). 

Benzoates. Dissolve 0-5 g. of the amino acid in 10 ml. of 10 per cent, sodium bicarbonate solution and add 1 g. of benzoyl chloride. Shake the mixture vigorously in a stoppered test-tube remove the stopper from time to time since carbon dioxide is evolved. When the odour of benzoyl chloride has disappeared, acidify with dilute hydrochloric acid to Congo red and filter. Extract the solid with a little cold ether to remove any benzoic acid which may be present. RecrystaUise the benzoyl derivative which remains from hot water or from dilute alcohol. 

Benzoyl piperidine. In a 1-litre three-necked flask, equipped with a mechanical stirrer, separatory funnel and a thermometer, place 85 g. (99 ml.) of redistilled piperidine (b.p. 105-108°) and a solution of 53 g. of sodium hydroxide in 400 ml. of water. Stir the mixture and introduce during the course of 1 hour 140 g. (115-5 ml.) of redistilled benzoyl chloride maintain the temperature at 35-40°, Cool to room temperature and extract the benzoyl piperidine with ether. Wash the ethereal solution with a little water to remove any dissolved sodium hydroxide, and dry with anhydrous potassium carbonate. Remove the ether on a water bath and distil the residue under diminished pressure (Fig. II, 20, 1). Collect the benzoyl piperidine at 184—186°/15 mm. it is an almost colourless viscous liquid and crystallises on standing in colourless needles m.p. 46°. The yield is 170 g. 

If the benzoyl derivative is soluble in alkali, precipitate it together with the benzoic acid derived from the reagent by the addition of hydrochloric acid filter and extract the product with cold ether or light petroleum (b.p. 40-60°) to remove the benzoic acid. 

The cyclized products 393 can be prepared by the intramolecular coupling of diphenyl ether or diphenylamine(333,334]. The reaction has been applied to the synthesis of an alkaloid 394[335]. The intramolecular coupling of benzoyl-A-methylindole affords 5-methyl-5,10-dihydroindenol[l,2-b]indol-10-one (395) in 60% yield in AcOH[336]. Staurosporine aglycone (396) was prepared by the intramolecular coupling of an indole ring[337].

The 0- and -monochloro- and 2,4- and 3,4-dichlorobenzotrichlorides are iatermediates ia the manufacture of the corresponding chlotinated benzoic acids and benzoyl chlorides. Fluotination of the chlotinated benzotrichlorides produces the chlotinated benzotrifluorides, iatermediates ia the manufacture of dinitroaniline and diphenyl ether herbicides (76). 

Monoesterification of a symmetrical dihydroxy aromatic compound can be effected by reaction with polymer-bound benzoyl chloride (Pyr, benzene, reflux, 15 h) to give a polymer-bound benzoate, which can be alkylated with diazomethane to form, after basic hydrolysis (0.5 M NaOH, dioxane, H2O, 25°, 20 h, or 60°, 3 h), a monomethyl ether. ... 

Liquid amines can be further purified via their acetyl or benzoyl derivatives (vide supra). Solid amines can be recrystallised from water, alcohol, toluene or toluene-petroleum ether. Care should be taken in handling large quantities of amines because their vapours are harmful (possibly carcinogenic) and they are readily absorbed through the skin. 

Because phenols are weak acids, they can be freed from neutral impurities by dissolution in aqueous N sodium hydroxide and extraction with a solvent such as diethyl ether, or by steam distillation to remove the non-acidic material. The phenol is recovered by acidification of the aqueous phase with 2N sulfuric acid, and either extracted with ether or steam distilled. In the second case the phenol is extracted from the steam distillate after saturating it with sodium chloride (salting out). A solvent is necessary when large quantities of liquid phenols are purified. The phenol is fractionated by distillation under reduced pressure, preferably in an atmosphere of nitrogen to minimise oxidation. Solid phenols can be crystallised from toluene, petroleum ether or a mixture of these solvents, and can be sublimed under vacuum. Purification can also be effected by fractional crystallisation or zone refining. For further purification of phenols via their acetyl or benzoyl derivatives (vide supra).

Tropacocaine (Benzoyl-ili-tropeine), CuHj gOgN, was discovered by Giesel in Java coca leaves and has since been found in Peruvian coca. Its preparation from the former source has been described by Hara and Sakamoto, It crystallises in needles, m.p. 49°, is insoluble in water, but soluble in alcohol, ether or dilute ammonia and is generally prepared by benzoylating /t-tropine, and purified as the hydrochloride. Its alcoholic solution is alkaline and optically inactive. The hydrochloride forms needles, m.p. 271° (dec.), and the hydrobromide leaflets. The aurichloride separates in minute yellow needles, m.p. 208°, from hot aqueous solutions the picrate has m.p. 238-9°. When heated with hydrochloric acid or baryta water the alkaloid is hydrolysed to benzoic acid and -tropine. ...

P-Acetoxy-5-hydroxy-B-mrcholestan-6-carboxylic Acid 5,6-Lactone (TO)."" A solution of 5 g (0.011 mole) of keto acid (69), 4.4 g of benzoyl chloride and 10 ml of anhydrous pyridine is allowed to stand for 3 days at room temperature. After a short period the mixture turns red-brown and at the end of the reaction the dark semi-solid mass is poured into 200 ml of water and extracted with two 100 ml portions of ether. The ethereal extracts are washed twice with equal portions of 5 % sodium hydroxide and water, dried and the ether evaporated. The red sirupy residue is mixed with 10 ml of methanol and a brown solid separates immediately. After standing for 1 hr the solid is removed by filtration and washed with methanol. A second crop is obtained upon concentration of the filtrate. The combined crops are recrystallized twice from methanol to give (70) as white needles mp 124-125° yield 2.8 g (58 %).
