THE PHOTOCHEMISTRY OF METHYL GERANATE, A MODEL CHROMOPHORE FOR INSECT JUVENILE HORMONE ANALOGS

The irradiation of methyl geranate (3) in ether using 254 nm lamps produces methyl 5-methyl-2-isopropenyl-4-hexenoate (13), 1,6,6-trimethyl-endo-5-carbomethoxybicyclo-hexane (11), methyl 2-isopropenyl-5-methylcyclopentanecarboxylate (12) and methyl (3Z)-3,7-dimethyl-3,6-octadienoate (14).Photolysis run in water or in ether in the presence of base generates two additional dienes: methyl 3-methylene-7-methyl-6-octaenoate (16) and methyl (3E)-3,7-dimethyl-3,6-octadienoate (17).The photolysis of methyl (2E, 6E)-3,7-dimethyl-2,6-nonadienoate (4a) in ether procedures all Z/E isomers, 4a - 4d.

Synthesis of (+/-)-trixagol by an electrophilic cyclization of an allylsilane

1,5-Dienes containing an allylsilane are cyclized by Lewis acids to methylenecyclohexanes.The trimethylsilyl group exerts a strong activating and directing influence on the regioselectivity of this cyclization.The monocyclic compound 10 was converted into the diterpene, (+/-)-trixagol (3).
