- A new synthesis of methyl 3-oxo-2-pentyl-1-cyclopentene-1-acetate
-
The 92:8 equilibrium mixture of (±)-trans-methyl dihydrojasmonate (1) and its cis-isomer is transformed in 63% overall yield into the title compound 4 by epoxidation of the derived enol acetate 2 with peracetic acid/Na2CO3 in toluene and heating the resulting α-acetoxy epoxide 3 in MeOH in the presence of catalytic amounts of methanesulfonic acid.

-
Electroreduction of γ- and δ-cyano ketones in i-PrOH with Sn cathode gave α-hydroxy ketones and their dehydroxylated ketones as the intramolecularly coupled products.Guaiazulene, (-)-valeranone, polyquinanes, dihydrojasmone, methyl dihydrojasmonate, and rosaprostol have been synthesized by utilizing this electroreductive intramolecular coupling of γ- and δ-cyano ketones in one of the key steps.Similarly, electroreduction of a mixture of ketone and nitrile gave the corresponding intermolecularly coupled product.The product obtained by the electroreductive intermolecular coupling of (+)-dihydrocarvone with acetonitrile has been found to be the precursor of an effective chiral ligand for the enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to aldehydes.

- ELECTROREDUCTIVE INTRAMOLECULAR COUPLING OF γ- AND δ-CYANOKETONES
-
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.
