In the latter process Dieckmann cyclization of diester (11) using high dilution conditions failed. However, A-homo-5a-cholestan-3-one (5b) identical to the product of diazomethane ring enlargement of (lb) was obtained in 35 % yield when diester (11) was hydrolyzed to the bis-homo diacid and this converted to the thorium salt and pyrolyzed. 

The mercaptals obtained by the acid catalyzed reaction of J3-ketoesters, e.g., ethyl acetoacetate, with methyl thioglycolate (73) undergo the Dieckmann cyclization with alcoholic potassium hydroxide at lower temperatures to give ethyl 3-hydroxy-5-methyl-2-thiophenecarboxylate (74) in 75% yield. ° Besides ethyl acetoacetate, ethyl a-ethylacetoacetate, ethyl benzoyl acetate, and ethyl cyclopentanonecarboxylate were also used in this reaction/ It is claimed that /8-diketones, hydroxy- or alkoxy-methyleneketones, or /8-ketoaldehyde acetals also can be used in this reaction. From acetylacetone and thioglycolic acid, 3,5-dimethyl-2-thiophenecarboxyl-ic acid is obtained. ...

The ring-contracted analog of alphaprodine is prepared by a variation of the scheme above. Alkylation of 109 with ethyl bromoacetate affords the lower homolog diester (115). Dieckmann cyclization followed by saponification-decarboxylation yields the pyrrolidine (116). Reaction with phenylmagnesium bromide leads to the condensation product (117) acylation with propionic anhydride gives the analgesic agent prolidine (118)... 

Intramolecular Claisen condensations can be carried out with diesters, just as intramolecular aldol condensations can be carried out with diketones (Section 23.6). Called the Dieckmann cyclization, the reaction works best on 1.6-diesters and 1,7-diesters. Intramolecular Claisen cyclization of a 1,6-diester gives a five-membered cyclic /3-keto ester, and cyclization of a 1,7-diester gives a six-membered cyclic /3-keto ester. 

The mechanism of the Dieckmann cyclization, shown in Figure 23.6, is the same as that of the Claisen condensation. One of the two ester groups is converted into an enolate ion, which then carries out a nucleophilic acyl substitution on the second ester group at the other end of the molecule. A cyclic /3-keto ester product results. 

The cyclic /3-keto ester produced in a Dieckmann cyclization can be further alkylated and decarboxylated by a series of reactions analogous to those used in the acetoacetic ester synthesis (Section 22.7). For example, alkylation and subsequent decarboxylation of ethyl 2-oxocyclohexanecarboxylate yields a 2-alkylcvclohexanone. The overall sequence of (1) Dieckmann cyclization, (2) /3-keto ester alkylation, and (3) decarboxylation is a powerful method for preparing 2-substituted cyclohexanones and cyclopentanones.

The preparation of several medium- and large-sized 2-carbo-methoxycycloalkanones has been accomplished by treatment of the cycloalkanone with sodium triphenylmethyl, followed by carbonation with dry ice, and esterification with diazomethane. 1 The yields are good but the procedure is laborious. The synthesis of 2-carbomethoxycycIooctanone via the Dieckmann cyclization of dimethyl azelate with sodium hydride yields 48% of this product when the procedure is carried out over a 9-day period.3... 

Reaction sequence E removed an extraneous oxygen by Sml2 reduction and installed an oxygen at C(15) by enolate oxidation. The C(l) and C(15) hydroxy groups were protected as a carbonate in Step E-5. After oxidation of the terminal vinyl group, the C-ring was constructed by a Dieckmann cyclization in Step F-4. After temporary protection of the C(7) hydroxy as the MOP derivative, the (1-ketoestcr was subjected to nucleophilic decarboxylation by phenylthiolate and reprotected as the BOM ether (Steps F-5, F- 6, and F-7). 

Preparation of the quaternary anticholinergic agent benzilonium bromide (47) is begun by conjugate addition of ethylamine to methylacrylate, giving aminoester 42. Alkylation of 42 with methyl bromo-acetate leads to diester 43, which is transformed into pyrrolidone 44 by Dieckmann cyclization, followed by decarboxylation. Reduction of 44 by lithium aluminum hydride leads to the corresponding amino-alcohol (45). Transesterification of alcohol 45 with methyl benzilate leads to 46. Benzilonium bromide (47) is obtained by alkylation of ester 46 with ethyl bromide. 2...

A Dieckmann cyclization was a key step in the synthesis of a renin inhibitor. In this case, the indolizidinone product was an useful intermediate toward the stereoselective synthesis of the open-chain product <2002JOC4261>.
