- Aluminium triflate catalysed cyclisation of unsaturated alcohols: novel synthesis of rose oxide and analogues
-
Aluminium trifluoromethanesulfonate was used as an efficient catalyst for the cycloisomerisation of several unsaturated alcohols into cyclic ethers such as rose oxide and some of its ether analogues.

- Process for producing a rose oxide
-
An improved process for production of an isomer mixture of Z- and E-2-?2-Methyl-prop-1-en-1-yl-!-4-methyl-tetrahydropyran, more commonly known under the name cis- and trans-rose oxide, which as a rule contains at least 80% of the natural Z-isomers (cis-rose oxide) which are valuable in the perfume industry.

- SYNTHESES OF TETRAHYDROPYRANS BY PPh3/CBr4 INDUCED CYCLIZATION OF ACETALS : APPLICATION TO A SYNTESIS OF ROSE OXIDE
-
Substituted tetrahydropyrans are prepared in good yields by PPh3/CBr4 induced cyclization of acetals.The utility of this new procedure is illustrated by the synthesis of cis-2-(methyl-1 propenyl)-4 methyltetrahydropyran (rose oxide).

-
Starting from γ- and δ-lactones 1-3, a two-step preparation of 3-hydroxypropyl and 4-hydroxybutyl propenyl ketones 10-18 is described, involving as the key step the β-cleavage of the bis(homoallylic) potassium alkoxides 4a-9a.This novel methodology is illustrated by a short synthesis of (+/-)-rose oxide (20).

- Electrooxidative Cleavage of Carbon-Carbon Linkages. 1. Preparation of Acylic Oxoalkanoates from 2-Hydroxy- and 2-Acetoxy-1-cycloalkanones and Cycloalkanone Enol Acetates
-
A methodology is described for the synthesis of acyclic oxoalkanoates 2 by electrooxidative cleavage of carbon-carbon linkages of 2-oxocycloalkan-1-ols 1 and cycloalkanone enol acetates 3.The electrolysis of 1 was carried out in a MeOH-LiClO4-(Pt) system at a constant applied voltage of 20 V by using a divided cell, giving 2 in 82-97 percent yields.On the other hand, 3 was electrolyzed in MeOH-AcOH (10:1)-LiClO4-(Pt) at 2-8 deg to give 2 in 72-79 percent yields.Electrolysis of 4-hydroxy-p-menth-8-ene afforded methyl (3R)-3,7-dimethyl-6-oxo-7-octenoate, a chiral synthetic block for the synthesis of (+)-rose oxide, in 84 percent yield.Similarly, the procedure could be applied to the preparation of methyl(+)-6-oxo-6,7-dihydrocitronellate from (+)-menthone enol acetate (74 percent) as well as 4-hydroxy-p-menthone (94 percent).Other lithium salts, i.e., LiBF4 and CF3CO2Li, can be used for the present purpose, but there are some difficulties in producing 2 with Et4NOTs and Et4NClO4.A plausible mechanism of the formation of 2 from 1 is also discussed.
