摘要
A novel three-step process for preparing 4-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-4-phenylbutanoic acid is disclosed, which involves (1) reducing 4-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-4-ketobutanoic acid to 4-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-4-hydroxybutanoic acid; (2) then converting the intermediate hydroxy acid formed in the first step to 5-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-dihydro-2(3H)-furanone, and (3) thereafter reacting the resulting gamma-butyrolactone compound with benzene in a Friedel-Crafts type reaction to form the desired final product. The latter compound is known to be useful as an intermediate leading to 4-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-3,4-dihydro-1(2H)-naphthalenone and ultimately, to cis-(1S)(4S)-N-methyl-4-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrah ydro-1-naphthaleneamine (sertraline), which is known to be a preferred anti-depressant agent in the field of medicinal chemistry. The aforementioned 5-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-dihydro-2(3H)-furanone and 4-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-4-hydroxybutanoic acid are both novel compounds. There is also disclosed a novel process for converting 5-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-dihydro-2(3H)-furanone directly to 4-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-3,4-dihydro-1(2H)-naphthalenone, as well as an alternate novel process for converting 4-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-4-hydroxybutanoic acid directly to this same key intermediate.
