PROCESS FOR PREPARATION OF $G(A)-HYDROXYCARBOXYLIC ACID AMIDES

The invention concerns a novel process for the preparation of 2-phenyl-2-hydroxy-N-Ä2-(3-alkoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl)-ethylÜ-acetamides of the formula I wherein R1 is alkyl, R2, and R3 are each independently hydrogen or alkyl, and R4, is optionally substituted aryl or optionally substituted heteroaryl, w...

More Information
Summary:The invention concerns a novel process for the preparation of 2-phenyl-2-hydroxy-N-Ä2-(3-alkoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl)-ethylÜ-acetamides of the formula I wherein R1 is alkyl, R2, and R3 are each independently hydrogen or alkyl, and R4, is optionally substituted aryl or optionally substituted heteroaryl, which process comprises reacting a 2-(3-alkoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl)-ethylamine of the formula II wherein R1 R2 and R3 are as defined above with a alpha -hydoxycarboxylic acid ester of the formula III or a dioxolanone of the formula IIIa wherein R4 is as defined above, and R5, R6 and R7 independently of each other are lower alkyl. The compounds of formula I are important intermediates for a novel group of fungicides derived from mandelic acid amides.
