Abstract

Electroreduction of γ- and δ-cyanoketones in i-PrOH gave cyclized products α-hydroxyketones and their dehydroxylated ketones, and this reaction was applied to the synthesis of dihydrojasmone, methyl dihydrojasmonate, and Rosaprostol.

  • A simple one-pot oxidation protocol for the synthesis of dehydrohedione from Hedione

    2022, Tetrahedron
    Citation Excerpt :

    Enhanced cis isomer mixtures possess a superior scent profile and hence are worth more than commercial Hedione (90% trans). Although a wide variety of synthetic routes towards DHH have been developed [7–13], Hedione is cheap (∼$5/kg) and readily available in its predominantly trans form (1c + 1d) and so the preferred method of DHH synthesis at scale is through direct oxidation of Hedione [14]. Historically, this has been enacted via a 3 steps sequence involving regioselective formation of ester 3, followed by bromination with a bromine source (typically Br2), followed by base induced elimination.

  • α,β-Unsaturated ketones via copper(II) bromide mediated oxidation

    2016, Tetrahedron
    Citation Excerpt :

    This is primarily achieved through hydrogenation of DHH (1b, its α,β-unsaturated analogue). Although several novel syntheses of DHH have been developed,15–20 the preferred method of DHH synthesis at scale still remains the direct oxidation of Hedione®.21 Herein, we report a convenient and operationally simple means of effecting the oxidative transformation of enol acetates to α,β-unsaturated ketones in a single step using superstoichiometric amounts of copper(II) bromide.
