A concise and efficient synthesis of the pheromone components of the cocoa pod borer moth, namely (4E,6Z,10Z)-hexadeca-4,6,10-trien-1-ol and (4E,6E,10Z)-hexadeca-4,6,10-trien-1-ol, starting from commercially available materials, was reported. The overall yield was 30.4% and 27.4%, respectively. The stereoselective formation of (E,Z)- or (E,E)-conjugated double bond relied on Sonogashira coupling with (E)-5-bromopent-4-en-1-ol prepared from (E)-5-bromopent-4-enal and the stereoselective hydrogenation of the enyne, while the 10Z-double bond was formed by Wittig reaction from 4-hydroxybutanal and n-hexyltriphenylphosphonium bromide.

Aqueous suspensions of Ru(0) nanoparticles, stabilized with hydroxyethylammonium salts and possessing sizes around 2 nm, proved to be active and selective in the mild oxidation of α-pinene in the presence of tert-butylhydroperoxide, in neat water. Verbenone, a product of great interest for fine chemistry, was obtained as major product with yield up to 41% under optimized conditions. 2-hydroxy-3-pinanone was identified as a co-product of the reaction, but with very low amount (7%). Kinetic investigations allowed determining the potential reaction intermediates and by-products. Moreover, mechanistic studies with radical scavengers confirmed that α-pinene oxidation mainly implies both carbon- and oxygen-centered radicals.

The reaction of TiCl4-n(OiPr)n (n = 0, 2, 4) with various terpenoid preligands based on α-pinene, C7H6Me3(OH)(NCH2CH2G) (G = NH2, I; NHMe, II; OH, III), stereoselectively affords a series of new chiral titanium(IV) complexes. Such complexes are either octahedral, [TiCl2X(OC7H6Me3NCH2CH2G-κ3N,N,O)] (X = Cl, G = NH2, 1; X = OiPr, G = NH2, 2; G = NHMe, 3), or trigonal bipyramidal, [Ti(OiPr)3(OC7H6Me3NCH2CH2G-κ2N,O)] (G = NH2, 4; NHMe, 5) and [TiX(OiPr)(OC7H6Me3NCH2CH2O-κ3N,O,O?)] (X = Cl, 6; OiPr, 8), depending on the acidity of titanium, the reaction conditions and the nature of the pendant ending group of the terpenoid ligand. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been carried out to assess the stability of the multiple possible diastereoisomers allowing us to propose structural suggestions. The new titanium complexes efficiently catalyze the selective oxidation of various types of sulfides to either sulfoxides or sulfones using aqueous hydrogen peroxide, under mild conditions. All compounds have been characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and the molecular structure for some of them has been determined by X-ray diffraction.
