PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF SPRINGENE

The application relates to a process for the production of alpha-springene (formula (I)) and beta-springene (formula (II)) from geranyl geranyl acetate (formula (III)).

Synthesis of 9-geranylterpinolene as a mixture of isomers, and synthesis of α- and β-springene, possible kairomones of the beech leaf-mining weevil, Orchestes fagi (L.)

The beech leaf-mining weevil, Orchestes fagi (L.), also known as the beech flea weevil, is a common and widespread pest of beech, Fagus sylvatica L., in its native Europe. It now appears to be well established in Nova Scotia, Canada. We have previously reported the synthesis of 9-geranyl-p-cymene and 9-geranyl-α-terpinene, as they are both found in eclosing beech buds, and have researched the synthesis of other diterpenes that are isomers of 9-geranyl-α-terpinene. We now wish to report a synthesis of the diterpene 9-geranylterpinolene as a mixture of isomers, as a novel diterpene, and as a possible kairomone of O. fagi. Also, all trans-α-springene, its 3Z-isomer, and β-springene were synthesized as a mixture, as well as pure β-springene, utilizing known methods.

Syntheses of All-trans Acyclic Isoprenoid Pheromone Components

All-trans acyclic isoprenoid skeletons were made through a two-step iterative sequence.The method involves the Claisen rearrangement of allyl vinyl ethers formed from allylic alcohols and the dimethyl acetal of methyl isopropenyl ketone, followed by LiAlH4 reduction of the α,β-unsaturated ketone formed by rearrangement.The α,β-unsaturated ketone was also transformed to the 2-methyl-1-propenyl group by using a one-pot deoxygenation reaction for the synthesis of (E)-β-farnesene, (E)-β-springene and dendrolasin.
