SPIRO[3,4]OCTAN-6-OL SYNTHESIS METHOD Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC C07C35/31 C07C29/36 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: present invention relates to a method for synthesis of a novel compound - spiro[4,3]octan-6-ol of general formula (1) . The method involves reacting methylenecyclobutane with triethylaluminium (AlEt₃) in the presence of a zirconocene dichloride catalyst (Cp₂ZrCl₂) in molar ratio methylenecyclobutane: AlEt₃: Cp₂ZrCl₂=10:(10-14):(0.4-0.6) in an argon atomosphere at room temperature and atmospheric pressure in hexane for 4 hours, with subsequent addition to the reaction mass at -15°C of a copper chloride catalyst (CuCl) in equimolar amount to Cp₂ZrCl₂ and ethyl formate in threefold excess with respect to AlEt₃, after which the reaction mass is stirred at room temperature, with subsequent alkaline hydrolysis of the reaction mass.

EFFECT: method can be used in fine organic synthesis, in production of paint materials, highly efficient antiscoring and antiwear additives to oil, as well as biologically active substances.
