Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing a (thio)ester condensate by catalytic esterification between equimolar amounts of a carboxylic acid and an alcohol or by catalytic thioesterification between a carboxylic acid and an equimolar or small excess amount of a thiol, thus hopeful as an industrial method needing mass synthesis from the standpoint of green chemistry. SOLUTION: This method for producing a (thio)ester condensate comprises the following process: a direct condensation reaction is made between a carboxylic acid and an equimolar amount of an alcohol or a small excess amount of a thiol in a nonpolar solvent such as toluene in a deoxygenation atmosphere under reflux while heating in the presence of a (poly)condensation catalyst consisting of a tetravalent hafnium compound represented by hafnium (IV) chloride, especially hafnium (IV) chloride.(THF)2 or hafnium (IV) t-butoxide to synthesize the objective monomeric (thio)ester or poly(thio)ester; wherein it is preferable that in making the reflux under heating using the nonpolar solvent, the azeotropic water is eliminated from the reaction system.

PURPOSE:To provide a method for producing a quinone derivative as an intermediate for producing a chromone derivative useful as a medicine such as a hypoglycemic agent in a high yield, safely and industrially. CONSTITUTION:(A) A hydroquinone derivative of formula I (R is H, an aliphatic acyl or an aromatic acyl) as a novel compound is oxidized with air, 2,3- dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone or chloranil in the presence of manganese dioxide, ammonium ceric nitrate, chromic anhydride, nitric acid, air or lithium chloride and cupric chloride or (B) an acylhydroquinone of formula II (R is an aliphatic acyl or aromatic acyl) is hydrolyzed with a Claisen alkali and oxidized to provide a quinone derivative of the formula III. The compound of the formula I is obtained by reacting a trimethylhydroquinone derivative of the formula IV with a primary allyl derivative derivative of the formula V or a tertiary alcohol derivative of the formula VI.
