Thujone, a waste by-product of the Canadian forest industry, has been utilized as a starting material to develop a versatile synthetic route to the damascones (rose oil ketones) and related analogues.The synthetic sequence provides a route to β-cyclocitral (45), the latter having been previously converted to β-damascone (2).In addition, thujone-drived intermediates are converted to β-damascenone (48) and to intermediates that can be utilized for the preparation of damascone analogues.In conjunction with the above, an efficient route to safronitrile (42), β-cyclogeranonitrile (43), and β-cyclocitral (45) from 2,6-dimethylcyclohexanone has been developed.In summary, these studies afford an attractive versatile route to these important perfumery materials.
