- Photocaged Hydrocarbons, Aldehydes, Ketones, Enones, and Carboxylic Acids and Esters that Release by the Norrish II Cleavage Protocol and Beyond: Controlled Photoinduced Fragrance Release
-
Five families of caged fragrance compounds that allow the storage and release of the following small volatile organic molecules are described: terpene hydrocarbons, aldehydes, ketones, Michael-type α,β-unsaturated enones, and carboxylic acids and esters. These caged molecules are released by photoexcitation via carbonyl-directed hydrogen-transfer processes and subsequent C-C bond cleavage (Norrish Type II) or by didenitrogenation of diazirines.

- Controlled release of encapsulated bioactive volatiles by rupture of the capsule wall through the light-induced generation of a gas
-
The encapsulation of photolabile 2-oxoacetates in core-shell microcapsules allows the light-induced, controlled release of bioactive compounds. On irradiation with UVA light these compounds degrade to generate an overpressure of gas inside the capsules, which expands or breaks the capsule wall. Headspace measurements confirmed the light-induced formation of CO and CO2 and the successful release of the bioactive compound, while optical microscopy demonstrated the formation of gas bubbles, the cleavage of the capsule wall, and the leakage of the oil phase out of the capsule. The efficiency of the delivery system depends on the structure of the 2-oxoacetate, the quantity used with respect to the thickness of the capsule wall, and the intensity of the irradiating UVA light.

- ω-Sulfonic-perfluoroalkylated poly(styrene-maleic anhydride)/silica hybridized nanocomposite as a new kind of solid acid catalyst
-
A new kind of ω-sulfonic-perfluoroalkylated poly(styrene-maleic anhydride)/silica hybrid nanocomposite FSMA/SiO2 has been synthesized under mild conditions by perfluoroalkylation of styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer (SMA) with ω-fluorosulfonylperfluorodiacyl peroxides (SFAP), and followed in turn by aminolysis using (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES), alkali hydrolysis, gelation with tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and finally acidification. The hybrid solid acid FSMA/SiO2 with terminal perfluoroalkylsulfonic and carboxyl groups was characterized by FTIR, SEM, TEM, TGA, XPS, EDX, acidimetry and nitrogen sorption technique. Its pore structure, acid strength and acid amount were easily modulated by controlling the gelation and perfluoroalkylation conditions. The catalytic activity and selectivity, as well as reusability of FSMA/SiO2 were tested in three important reactions, namely, cyclization of pseudoionone, condensation of indole and esterification of benzoic acid. Owing to the higher exchange capacity than that of Nafion/SiO2, and the stronger acidity than that of Amberlyst-15, the nanocomposite FSMA/SiO2 showed higher activity and selectivity than these commercial solid acids in the reactions.

- Cyclization of pseudoionone into α-Ionone over heteropolyacid supported on mesoporous silica SBA-15
-
Cyclization of pseudoionone into α-ionone was performed over the series heteropolyacid supported on SBA-15 in liquid-phase at 363 and 373 K using a batch reactor. It has been demonstrated that the liquid-phase synthesis of α-ionone by pseudoionone cyclization can be efficiently achieved on heteropolyacid/SBA-15 materials. The high catalytic performance of PW 12/SBA-15 materials is due to their strong Bronsted acidity, high dispersion of active phase and also to absence of steric constraints for pseudoionone cyclization. PW12/SBA-15 catalysts are specially active and selective for this reaction giving predominantly α-ionone, as the main product, with high yield (about 60% at 373 K after 2 h) close to that obtained via the homogeneous synthesis. This catalytic system is more active and efficient in comparison with heteropolyacid supported on commercial silica. In order to achieve comparable amount of α-ionone, as is got for PW 12/SBA-15, belongs to apply five times more of the catalyst based on classical SiO2.

- Gold-mediated synthesis of α-ionone
-
A simple and convenient synthesis of α-ionone, an important component of flowers and fragrances, is reported. The key step in the formation of the α,β-unsaturated ketone moiety involves an NHC-AuI catalyzed Meyer-Schuster-like rearrangement of readily prepared propargylic esters. The complex [{Au(IPr)}2(μ-OH)][BF4] proved to be the most efficient catalyst leading to α-ionone in 70% yield from a propargylic benzoate. This optimized procedure represents a valuable and attractive alternative to classical methods leading to α,β- unsaturated ketones, such as the Wittig or aldol reactions.

- Synthesis of ionones on solid Br?nsted acid catalysts: Effect of acid site strength on ionone isomer selectivity
-
The effect of Br?nsted acid site strength on the liquid-phase conversion of pseudoionone to ionone isomers (α-, β- and γ-ionone) was studied on resin Amberlyst 35W, silica-supported heteropolyacid (HPAS) and silica-supported triflic acid (TFAS). Catalyst acidity was probed by temperature-programmed desorption of NH3 coupled with infrared spectra of adsorbed pyridine. The initial pseudoionone conversion rate followed the order: TFAS > Amberlyst 35W ≈ HPAS. Synthesis of the three ionone isomers occurred via a common cyclic carbocation intermediate formed from the activation of the pseudoionone molecule on Br?nsted acid sites. Initial ionone mixtures containing a α:β:γ isomer distribution of about 40:20:40 were formed, irrespective of the acid site strength. But the ionone mixture composition changed with the progress of the reaction because γ-ionone was consecutively converted to α-ionone on HPAS and Amberlyst 35W, whereas the stronger acid sites of TFAS converted γ-ionone to β-ionone.

- A simple and versatile re-catalyzed meyer-schuster rearrangement of propargylic alcohols to α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds
-
The development of a general catalytic procedure for the rapid and efficient 1,3-rearrangement of free secondary and tertiary propargylic alcohols to the corresponding α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds using available [ReOCl3(OPPh3)-(SMe2)] complex, was reported. The reaction was carried out under neutral environmental conditions with no racemization of potentially enolizable stereocenters with virtually complete E stereoselectivity. The reaction under dimethoxyethane, proceeded at the lower rate than in THF, but with reduced by-products and the yield obtained were highly significant. The reaction was reported to increase constantly at the expense of the (Z)-isomer 2b, where the double bong isomerization was attributed to a catalytic effect of the rhenium complex. The resulted new version of Meyer-Schuster rearrangement will find enormous application in organic synthesis to develop one-pot multistep reaction sequences.

- Controlled light-induced release of volatile aldehydes and ketones by photofragmentation of 2-oxo-(2-phenyl)acetates
-
The light-induced controlled release of fragrances from photolabile 2-oxo-(2-phenyl)acetates via Norrish Type II photofragmentation was evaluated by irradiation of the precursors in different solvents and on cotton in a typical fabric softener application. The desired photooxidation was found to work efficiently in water-based systems, and it tolerates the presence of oxygen. The formation of a certain amount of alcohol besides the desired aldehyde or ketone was attributed to further reaction of the photochemically released carbonyl compound, rather than to ester hydrolysis in an aqueous environment.

- Synthesis, olfactory evaluation, and determination of the absolute configuration of the 3,4-didehydroionone stereoisomers
-
The synthesis of 3,4-didehydroionone isomers 4, (+)-6, and (-)-6 and of 3,4-didehydro-7,8-dihydroionone isomers 5, (+)-7, and (-)-7 was accomplished starting from commercially available racemic α-ionone (1). Their preparation of the racemic forms 4-7 was first achieved by mean of a number of chemo- and regioselective reactions (Schemes 1 and 2). The enantio- and diastereoselective lipase-mediated kinetic acetylation of 4-hydroxy-γ- ionone (10a/10b) provided 4-hydroxy-γ-ionone (+)-10a/(±)-10b and (+)-4-(acetyloxy)-γ-ionone ((+)12b) (Scheme 3). The latter compounds were used as starting materials to prepare the 3,4-didehydro-γ-ionones (+)- and (-)-6 and the 3,4-didehydro-7,8-dihydro-γ-ionones (+)- and (-)-7 in enantiomer-enriched form. The absolute configuration of (+)-12b was determine by chemical correlation with (+)-(6S)-γ-ionone ((+)-3) and with (-)-(6S)-α-ionone ((-)-1) therefore allowing to assign the (S)-configuration to (+)-6 and (+)-7. Olfactory evaluation of the above described 3,4-didehydroionone isomers shows a significant difference between the enantiomers and regioisomers both in fragrance feature and in detection threshold (Table).

An efficient highly enantioselective (ee ≥99%) synthesis of α-ionone and α-damascone is described. Both enantiomers of title compounds were synthesized through two straightforward pathways diverging from enantiopure (R)- or (S)-α-cyclogeraniol. These versatile building blocks were obtained by regioselective ZrCl4-promoted biomimetic cyclization of (6S)- or (6E)-(Z)-6,7-epoxygeraniol, respectively, followed by deoxygenation of the so formed secondary alcohol. The chiral information was encoded by a highly regioselecive Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation of inexpensive geranyl acetate.

- 4,5-Didehydro-9-demethyl-9-halo-5,6-dihydroretinals and their 9-cyclopropyl and 9-isopropyl derivatives - Simple preparation of α-ionone derivatives and pure (all-E)-, (9Z)- and (11Z)-α-retinals
-
α-Ionone and several of its chemically modified derivatives have been prepared in high yield in full isomeric purity by a Wadsworth-Emmons procedure using imino-phosphonate anion reagents. Starting from α-ionone, 5-(2′,6′,6′-trimethylcyclo-2′-hexen-1′-yl) -4-penten-2-yn-1-al could be prepared in a high yielding one-pot procedure. The corresponding (9-Cl-, 9-Br- and 9-I-α-ionylidene)acetaldehyde system could be obtained in one step in a quantitative mixture of (9Z) and (all-E) isomers by 1,4-nucleophilic addition reactions. The pure (all-E) and (9Z) isomers could be separated by simple column chromatography. The corresponding [(9Z)- and (all-E)-9-demethyl-9-fluoro-α-ionylidene]acetaldehydes could also be obtained in pure form by simple column chromatography. These α-ionylidene systems could be easily converted either into the (all-E)-4,5-didehydro-9- demethyl-9-halo-5,6-dihydroretinals or the corresponding (9Z) isomers in two steps. Similar mixtures of the corresponding (9Z,11Z)-and (9Z)-nitriles could be obtained by normal chemistry. The (9Z,11Z) isomer is the main component of this mixture, and could be obtained in pure form. Subsequent reduction with DIBAL-H and careful workup gave the pure (9Z,11Z)-9-halo-retinals. These (9Z,11Z) isomers show a similar extreme acid sensitivity to the corresponding 9-halo-β-retinals. α-Retinal and its 9-demethyl, 19,19-ethano and 19,19-dimethyl derivatives have been prepared in the (all-E), (9Z), and (11Z) isomeric forms in a similar manner. The corresponding β-retinal and its 9-demethyl derivative in the various isomeric forms are known. In this paper the 19,19-ethano- and 19,19-dimethyl-β-retinals in the (all-E), (9Z), and (11Z) isomeric forms are also reported. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2004.

- Composition containing body activated fragrance for contacting the skin and method of use
-
Described is a fragrancing composition having fragrancing components that are not activated until, e.g., application to the skin of a human. The composition is alkaline or (if anhydrous) capable of producing an alkaline pH when in contact with water, prior to application, and includes (1) a vehicle such that when the composition is in contact with water, prior to application, the composition is at an alkaline pH; and (2) at least one potential fragrance that is at least one compound having little or no odor in the alkaline composition but which, e.g., is hydrolyzed in a lower pH environment to produce compounds having a relatively strong aroma. Upon application of the alkaline composition to the skin surface, the strong buffering capacity of the skin (the surface of which has a normal pH of 5.5-7.0) neutralizes alkalinity of the composition (lowers pH) so as to restore normal skin surface pH; the potential fragrance is then hydrolyzed at the lower pH to release the compound having relatively strong aroma. The potential fragrance can be incorporated as a component of a transparent (clear) deodorant stick composition for application to human axillary regions, the fragrance being released after application to the body.
