Zusammenfassung:The present invention is directed to methods for the synthesis of dioxoalkanoic acid compounds and derivatives useful as intermediates for diarylpyrrole therapeutic agents. More particularly, the present invention is directed to the treatment of benzoylcyclohexanone compounds with an alcohol to provide improved yields of purified 7-aryl-4,7-dioxoheptanoic acid derivatives. The invention relates to improved methods of producing aryl dioxoalkanoic acid compounds and derivatives useful as intermediates for diarylpyrrole therapeutic agents by the alcoholysis of benzoylcyclohexanone ketal compounds.
