Cassis and Green Tea: Spontaneous Release of Natural Aroma Compounds from β-Alkylthioalkanones

In depth headspace analysis of the slow degradation of β-alkylthioalkanones in ambient air led to the discovery of a novel δ-cleavage pathway, by which β-mercaptoketones are released. Since β-mercaptoketones are potent natural aroma compounds occurring in many fruits, herbs and flowers, the discovery of an enzyme-independent molecular precursor for this class of high-impact molecules is of practical importance. Moreover, the formation of β-diketones and aldehydes by concomitant oxidation at the α-sulfur-position enhances the versatility of this class of aroma precursors. A mechanistic model is proposed which suggests that the oxidative degradation occurs through a novel Pummerer-type rearrangement of initially formed persulfoxides.

Aromatic aldols and 1,5-diketones as optimized fragrance photocages

Aromatic aldols and 1,5-diketones with abstractable γ-hydrogen atoms are highly photoactive cage molecules for the release of fragrance carbonyl compounds (aldehydes and Michael ketones, respectively). Aldols 3a-d are easily accessible by Mukaiyama addition and are cleaved to form the substrates with high quantum yields under solar radiation. By tuning the properties of the chromophores, a series of δ-damascone cages 5 were developed that can be used for selective and fast (5a,e) or slow (5b,d) release of fragrances under air and solar irradiation. The intermediates of the Norrish II process were observed by laser transient absorption spectroscopy.

PROCESSES FOR EPIMERIZING CYCLOHEXENYL KETONES WITH SUBSEQUENT ALDOL CONDENSATION TO PRODUCE FRAGRANCE COMPOUNDS

The present disclosure describes processes for the epimerization of a cyclohexene comprising the steps of providing to a reactor a first isomer of a 1-(2-alkyl-3-cyclohexen-1-yl)-alkanone compound according to Formula I I wherein R1 ad R2 are each independently C1-C4 alkyl, and R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, and R8 are each independently selected from the group consisting of H and C1-C4 alkyl; and epimerizing the first isomer of the 1-(2-alkyl-3-cyclohexen-1-yl)-alkanone with a metal alkoxide base to form a second isomer of the 1-(2-alkyl-3-cyclohexen-1-yl)-alkanone.
