NOVELTY – Acyloin production involves forming silicon ether (I) from Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) adduct, where a carboxylic acid (II) is formed from the obtained silicon ether. An isocyanate (III) is obtained from the formed carboxylic acid, where the desired acyloin (IV) is formed from the isocyanate. USE – Method for producing acyloin for manufacturing pharmaceuticals (claimed). ADVANTAGE – The method produces the pharmaceuticals with anti-depressant bupropion. DETAILED DESCRIPTION – Acyloin production involves forming silicon ether of general formula (I) from Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) adduct, where a carboxylic acid of general formula (II) is formed from the obtained silicon ether. An isocyanate of general formula (III) is obtained from the formed carboxylic acid, where the desired acyloin of general formula (IV) is formed from the isocyanate. R1=H, linear or branched 1-7C alkyl, phenyl, optionally substituted with methyl, methoxy, ethyl, ethoxy, Cl, Br, I, OH, NH2 or NO2 group, heterocyclic thiazolyl or thiophenyl; and R2=a protecting group comprising silicon.
B03 (Other heterocyclics.); B05 (Other organics – aromatics, aliphatic, organo-metallics, compounds whose substituents vary such that they would be classified in several of B01 – B05.)
