Of course of the nomenclature of the esters includes all the possible stereoisomers.

Further, we have found that the 2,3-dihydrobenzofurylmethyl esters of the formula I are obtained by reacting an acid halide of the formula II

R1 --CO--Hal                                          II,

where R1 has the above meanings and Hal is halogen, especially chlorine, with a compound of the formula III ##STR7## where R2, R3, R4, R5, R6 and R7 have the above meanings, in the presence of an acid-binding agent.

The novel esters of the formula I may also be prepared by reacting an acid of the formula IV

R1 --COOH                                             IV,

where R1 has the above meanings, with a halide of the formula V ##STR8## where R2, R3, R4, R5, R6 and R7 have the above meanings and Hal is halogen, especially chlorine, in the presence of an acid-binding agent.

Further possible methods of synthesis include the reaction of an acid of the formula IV with a compound of the formula III in the presence of a water-binding agent, and the reaction of an alkyl ester of the formula VI

R1 --COOR                                             VI,

where R1 has the above meanings and R is unbranched or branched alkyl of 1 to 5 carbon atoms, with a compound of the formula III in the presence of a conventional trans-esterification catalyst.

The various methods of synthesis can be represented by the following equations: ##STR9##

Suitable acid-binding agents to be used in syntheses (a) and (b) are organic bases, for example tertiary amines, eg. triethylamine, trimethylamine, dimethylaniline, dimethylbenzylamine, 4-dimethylaminopyridine, 4pyrrolidinopyridine or pyridine, and inorganic bases, for example hydroxides, oxides, bicarbonates or carbonates of alkali metals and of alkaline earth metals, eg. sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, calcium bicarbonate and potassium carbonate, and alcoholates and hydrides of the alkali metals, eg. sodium hydride and potassium t.-butylate. At least one mole of acid-binding agent is employed per mole of compound of the formula II or V.

Examples of suitable water-binding agents for the reaction according to equation (c) are dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, inorganic acids, eg. sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid, acidic ion exchangers and p-toluenesulfonic acid. At least 0.02, advantageously from 0.05 to 0.4, mole of water-binding agent is used per mole of reactant III or IV.

Suitable catalysts for the reaction according to equation (d) are alkali metal hydrides and alcoholates, eg. sodium hydride, sodium ethylate, and triphenyl-sodium. Alcoholates of elements of group IV b of the periodic table, eg. titanium tetramethylate and titanium tetraethylate, may also be used. Advantageously, from 0.02 to 0.4 mole of catalyst is added per mole of ester of the formula VI.

Each of the processes (a) to (d) may be carried out at from -10° to +150° C., under atmospheric or superatmospheric pressure, batchwise or continuously.

Preferably, the processes are carried out with equimolar ratios of the reactants of the formulae II and III, IV and V, IV and III or VI and III. Using an excess of one or other component offers no substantial advantages. The reaction is virtually quantitative.

Processes (a) to (d) are advantageously carried out in the presence of a suitable solvent or diluent. Virtually all inert organic solvents may be used for this purpose. They include acyclic and cyclic ethers, eg. diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran and dioxane, alkylated aliphatic and alicyclic carboxylic acid amides, eg. dimethylformamide and N-methylpyrrolidone, aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons or chlorohydrocarbons, eg. toluene, xylenes, chloroform, n-hexane, cyclohexane and chlorobenzene, ketones, eg. acetone and methyl ethyl ketone, nitriles, eg. acetonitrile, and also dimethylsulfoxide and hexamethylphosphorotriamide. Mixtures of these solvents may also be used.

The process according to equation (a) may also be carried out in aqueous solution. Processes (a) and (b) may furthermore be carried out as two-phase reactions, in which case the water-insoluble organic phase may be, for example, an ether, aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon or chlorohydrocarbon, especially toluene or chloroform, or methyl ethyl ketone.

If the starting materials used for the preparation of the esters of the formula I are not individual optically active isomers or cis-/trans-isomers, the end products obtained are mixtures of various optically active isomers or cis/trans-isomers. These isomer mixtures may be separated into the individual isomers by conventional methods. For the purposes of the invention, esters of the formula I includes both the pure isomers and their mixtures.

Some of the starting compounds of the formula II are known (British Pat. No. 1,446,304 and U.S. Pat. No. 3,981,903); compounds not previously known may be prepared by analogy with conventional processes. Again, some of the compounds of the formula III are known (German Laid-Open Applications DOS No. 2,108,932 and DOS No. 2,255,581); where they are not previously known they can be prepared by conventional processes, for example by reacting an aldehyde with a metal-organyl or by forming an adduct of an alkyne with an aldehyde, and then partially hydrogenating the product (Houben-Weyl, Methoden der organischen Chemie, Volume V/lb, pages 775-790, Georg Thieme-Verlag, Stuttgart, 1972). Compounds of the formulae IV, V and VI are also known or obtainable by conventional processes (U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,979,519 and 3,981,903, Belgian Pat. No. 801,946 and German Laid-Open Applications DOS No. 2,365,555 and DOS No. 2,231,312).

The Examples which follow illustrate the preparation of the novel esters of the formula I.

EXAMPLE 1

73 ml of a 1.6-molar solution of vinyl-magnesium chloride in tetrahydrofuran are introduced into 200 ml of absolute tetrahydrofuran at 0° C. 17.6 g of 2,2-dimethyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-6-aldehyde in 100 ml of absolute tetrahydrofuran are then added dropwise whilst stirring, in the absence of moisture. Thereafter, the reaction mixture is stirred for 3 hours at 25° C., after which it is cautiously decomposed with a cold saturated ammonium chloride solution and a few milliliters of 10% strength hydrochloric acid, sufficient to dissolve the precipitate. The mixture is extracted three times by shaking with ether and the combined ether extracts are washed with sodium bisulfite solution, sodium bicarbonate solution and water, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure.
