Dicarboxylic acid oxidation

Peroxisomes are probably also the main site of dicarboxylic acid oxidation. Dicarboxylic acids are formed from mono-carboxylic acids via initial ca-hydroxylationfollowed by oxidation of the C-OH-group to an aldehyde and finally an acid. The resulting dicarboxylic acid is activated at the ER-membrane, transported to the peroxisome and chain-shortened in the mitochondria...

Fumaroyl chloride is a useful acetylene equivalent in the Diels-Alder reaction. After hydrolysis of the adduct to the dicarboxylic acid, oxidative decarboxylation serves to generate the olefin double bond. 

Lead(fV) ethanoate, Pb(02CCH3)4, (Pb(ll)ethanoate plus CI2) is a powerful oxidizing agent which will convert vicinal glycols to aldehydes or ketones and 1,2-dicarboxylic acids into alkenes. Primary amides give ketones and amines give nitriles. 

HOaQCHjlfiCOiH, CSH14O4. Important dicarboxylic acid obtained by oxidizing ricino-leic acid (from castor oil) also obtained by oxidation of cyclo-octene or cyclo-octadiene formerly obtained from cork. Used in the formation of alkyd resins and polyamides. Esters are used as plasticizers and heavy duty lubricants and oils. 

Add, with stirring, a solution of 6 8 g. of the fiis-diazo ketone in 100 ml. of warm dioxan to a suspension of 7 0 g. of freshly precipitated silver oxide in 250 ml. of water containing 11 g. of sodium thiosulphate at 75°. A brisk evolution of nitrogen occurs after 1 5 hours at 75°, filter the liquid from the black silver residue. Acidify the almost colourless filtrate with nitric acid and extract the gelatinous precipitate with ether. Evaporate the dried ethereal extract the residue of crude decane-1 10-dicarboxylic acid weighs 4 -5 g. and melts at 116-117°. RecrystaUisation from 20 per cent, aqueous acetic acid raises the m.p. to 127-128°. 

Regioselectivity of C—C double bond formation can also be achieved in the reductiv or oxidative elimination of two functional groups from adjacent carbon atoms. Well estab llshed methods in synthesis include the reductive cleavage of cyclic thionocarbonates derivec from glycols (E.J. Corey, 1968 C W. Hartmann, 1972), the reduction of epoxides with Zn/Nal or of dihalides with metals, organometallic compounds, or Nal/acetone (seep.lS6f), and the oxidative decarboxylation of 1,2-dicarboxylic acids (C.A. Grob, 1958 S. Masamune, 1966 R.A. Sheldon, 1972) or their r-butyl peresters (E.N. Cain, 1969). 

The dimer acids [61788-89-4] 9- and 10-carboxystearic acids, and C-21 dicarboxylic acids are products resulting from three different reactions of C-18 unsaturated fatty acids. These reactions are, respectively, self-condensation, reaction with carbon monoxide followed by oxidation of the resulting 9- or 10-formylstearic acid (or, alternatively, by hydrocarboxylation of the unsaturated fatty acid), and Diels-Alder reaction with acryUc acid. The starting materials for these reactions have been almost exclusively tall oil fatty acids or, to a lesser degree, oleic acid, although other unsaturated fatty acid feedstocks can be used (see Carboxylic acids. Fatty acids from tall oil Tall oil). 

Since the pyridazine ring is generally more stable to oxidation than a benzene ring, oxidation of alkyl and aryl substituted cinnolines and phthalazines can be used for the preparation of pyridazinedicarboxylic acids. For example, oxidation of 4-phenylcinnoline with potassium permanganate yields 5-phenylpyridazine-3,4-dicarboxylic acid, while alkyl substituted phthalazines give pyridazine-4,5-dicarboxylic acids under essentially the same reaction conditions. 

The oxidation of quinazoline with alkaline permanganate is still the preferred route to pyrimidine-4,5-dicarboxylic acid (04CB3643). 

The best way to make pyrimidine in quantity is from 1,1,3,3-tetraethoxypropane (or other such acetal of malondialdehyde) and formamide, by either a continuous (58CB2832) or a batch process (57CB942). Other practical ways to make small amounts in the laboratory are thermal decarboxylation of pyrimidine-4,6-dicarboxylic acid (744), prepared by oxidation of 4,6-dimethylpyrimidine (59JCS525), or hydrogenolysis of 2,4-dichloropyrimidine over palladium-charcoal in the presence of magnesium oxide (53JCS1646). 

The cleavage of fused pyrazines represents an important method of synthesis of substituted pyrazines, particularly pyrazinecarboxylic acids. Pyrazine-2,3-dicarboxylic acid is usually prepared by the permanganate oxidation of either quinoxalines or phenazines. The pyrazine ring resembles the pyridine ring in its stability rather than the other diazines, pyridazine and pyrimidine. Fused systems such as pteridines may easily be converted under either acidic or basic conditions into pyrazine derivatives (Scheme 75). 

The degradation of more complex substances can be regarded as another route to pteridine derivatives. Already in 1895 tolualloxazine was oxidized by alkaline permanganate to lumazine-6,7-dicarboxylic acid, and further heating led in a stepwise decarboxylation to lumazine (3) (1895CB1970). 

The first in this series to be reported was 4-oxoisoxazoline-3,5-dicarboxylic acid diethyl ester, which was formed by the reaction of nitrous acid on diethyl acetonedicarboxylate in 1891. Quilico described a number of syntheses in his 1962 review and the most general include the reaction of hydroxylamine and a-hydroxy-(or acetoxy)- 3-diketones and the conversion of 4-isoxazolediazonium salts to the hydroxy moiety (62HC(17)1, p. 3). Additional syntheses reported were the oxygenation of a 4-boric acid derivative (67JOM(9)l9) and peroxide oxidation of a 4-nitro-2-isoxazoline (Scheme 151) (79ZOR2436). 

In spirooxaziridines like (114), /3-scission proceeds with ring opening. Stoichiometric amounts of iron(II) salt in acidic solution lead to the dicarboxylic acid derivative (115). The radical undergoes some interesting reactions with added unsaturated compounds. For example, pyridine yields a mixture of 2- and 4-alkylation products in 80% yield. Catalytic amounts of iron(II) ion are sufficient here since the adduct of the radical with pyridine is oxidized by iron(III) ion to the final product (116), thus regenerating iron(II) ion (68TL5609).
