~C~6~3~
A process for the manufacture of carboxylic acids from
C~-keto carboxamides corresponding to the general formula: ~ ~
______ A -
R-CO-CONH-C \ A~
(in which R represents an aliphatic, aromatic, aralkyl, ali-
cyclic or heterocyclic radical, which may be ~ubstituted or un-
substituted, w~ere A represents a hydrogen atom or an aliphatic
or aralkyl radical, A' and A" each represent an aliphatic or
aralkyl radical or form together, with the carbon atom to which ~;
they are connected, a cycloalkane residue), i3 described in
applicant's Canadian patent No. 977,773.
These carboxamides which are indicated in the above
mentionea patent a~ being novel products are derived from an
extension of the so called Ritter reaction, namely the condensa-
tion in an acid medium of secondary or tertiary alcohols with
cyanhydrins to obtain d-hydroxycarboxamides easily convertable,
by oxidation, into d-ketocarboxamides. Being provided thus
with these startlng compounds, easily, economically and indus-
trially available, due to this extension of the Ritter reaction,
which compounds are moreover chemically stable, it is possible .
to obtain, by simple hydrolysis, as described in the above-
mentioned patent, ~ -keto acids and this, exceptionally econo- :
mically in comparison with prior art technique~ also mentioned ~
in this patent. .: .
~ow, it is an object of the present invention to ;~
provide, more particularly within a class of ~-ketocarboxamides ~
of the general formula: `
