Dependent Claim 201 words
A process for the preparation of a compound of the formula ##STR29## and R 2 is lower alkyl; the dotted line is a carbon-carbon bond which may be in either the 4,5 or 5,6 position; which comprises reacting a compound of the formula ##STR30## wherein M is Pd or Pt, and X is halogen; with a compound of the formula R.sub.4 --CH.sub.2 SO.sub.2 R.sub.5 wherein R 4 is ##STR31## and R 5 is lower alkyl, aryl or lower alkylaryl and the dotted line is a carbon to carbon bond in either the 4,5 or 5,6 position; in the presence of a base selected from the group consisting of alkali metal lower alkoxides, hydrides and amides in the presence of a ligand selected from mono-, di- or tri-substituted amines, arsines, or phosphines wherein said substitutents are lower alkyl, aryl or lower alkylaryl or a solvent capable of coordinating with the platinum or palladium selected from dimethylsulfoxide or hexamethylphosphoramide to form a compound having the formula ##STR32## wherein R 4 and R 5 are as defined above followed by treatment of said compound with a base selected from alkali metal hydroxide or a mixture of a lower alkanol and an alkali metal hydroxide.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim 201 words
A process for the preparation of a compound of the formula ##STR29## and R 2 is lower alkyl; the dotted line is a carbon-carbon bond which may be in either the 4,5 or 5,6 position; which comprises reacting a compound of the formula ##STR30## wherein M is Pd or Pt, and X is halogen; with a compound of the formula R.sub.4 --CH.sub.2 SO.sub.2 R.sub.5 wherein R 4 is ##STR31## and R 5 is lower alkyl, aryl or lower alkylaryl and the dotted line is a carbon to carbon bond in either the 4,5 or 5,6 position; in the presence of a base selected from the group consisting of alkali metal lower alkoxides, hydrides and amides in the presence of a ligand selected from mono-, di- or tri-substituted amines, arsines, or phosphines wherein said substitutents are lower alkyl, aryl or lower alkylaryl or a solvent capable of coordinating with the platinum or palladium selected from dimethylsulfoxide or hexamethylphosphoramide to form a compound having the formula ##STR32## wherein R 4 and R 5 are as defined above followed by treatment of said compound with a base selected from alkali metal hydroxide or a mixture of a lower alkanol and an alkali metal hydroxide.
