Thus% the total se.uence (C!art 0) from alphamethyl!"#A to $%&dimetho'yphenylacetone% consistin/ of the four steps% acetylation% methylation% hydrolysis% and hypochlorite o'idation% can be effected with a potential overall yield of +,-. The direct hypochlorite o'idation of alphamethyl!"#A itself proceeds in the desired manner to /ive $%&dihydro'yphenylacetone in ca. 0,- yield. The latter substance is hi/hly water soluble and sensitive as well to manipulation% althou/h it can be methylated to / in reasonable yield. To a lar/e and competitive e'tent% however% the direct hypochlorite o'idation of alphamethyl!"#A involves nuclear attac1 as evidenced by accompanyin/ resinification. The use of tbutyl hypochlorite was found to be superior to sodium hypochlorite in this instance and su//ests% thereby% that the brea1down reaction to 1etone is faster than nuclear involvement. The hypochlorite de/radation of the $monomethyl ether of alphamethyl!"#A to $metho'y& hydro'yphenylacetone also can be accomplished in at least 2,3,- yield.
The o'idative de/radation 0/ 4 / would appear clearly to be initiated by 5 chlorination (compare a b c) inasmuch as the 5acetate derivative 000 is unchan/ed under the conditions of hypochlorite o'idation% whereas the latter (000) is o'idi6ed smoothly by lead tetraacetate% a rea/ent 1nown to attac1 carbo'yl functions.
