Synthesis of the fragrant compound Calone 1951 from 4-methyl catechol and methyl bromoacetate entails three successive reactions: the Williamson reaction, Dieckmann condensation, and hydrolysis-decarboxylation reaction. In this paper, the synthesis of 4-methylcatechol dimethylacetate (MCDA) via the Williamson reaction by adding KI as catalyst was investigated. It was found that the addition of an appropriate amount of KI can significantly increase the product yield due to generation of methyl iodoacetate via the reaction between KI and methyl bromoacetate. The synthesised MCDA as well as Calone 1951 were first characterised by melting points, HPLC, IR, and NMR analyses. Next, the effect of the key operating factors on MCDA synthesis by the Williamson reaction was investigated and the optimum operating conditions were obtained via a group of orthogonal experiments. The verification experiments demonstrated that, under the optimum operating conditions, the MCDA yield could be increased from 78.5 % to 95.4 % by the addition of an appropriate amount of KI; the corresponding yield of Calone 1951 increased to 68 %.

Microwave irradiation has been utilised in a three-step synthetic route to the fragrant compound, 7-methyl-benzo[b][1,4]dioxepin-3-one, commercially known as Calone 1951. The use of a microwave reactor increases the simplicity and efficiency of the overall synthesis. Calone 1951, 7-methyl-benzo[b][1,4]dioxepin-3-one, possesses a strong marine, ozone note with floral nuances and is synthesised via a three-step procedure using microwave irradiation. High yields were obtained, and reaction times reduced to a few minutes, allowing for an efficient and inexpensive synthesis of Calone 1951.

The invention belongs to the technical field of perfume compound synthesis. The invention specifically relates to a synthesis method of watermelon ketone. The method comprises the following steps: adding a solvent and a periodate into the reaction vessel at room temperature, stirring uniformly, and then dropwise adding the watermelon ketone precursor alcohol (I) dissolved by the solvent to the reaction vessel to obtain a crude watermelon ketone crude product which is subjected to recrystallization to obtain the watermelon ketone (3 - 7h II) finished product. To the invention, 4 - methylcatechol and 1, 3 -dichloropropanol reaction product 3, 4 - dihydro -7 - methyl - 2H - 1 and 5 - benzoxazole -3 - alcohol (I) are used as starting materials and are subjected to high-iodine reagent oxidation reaction.

The deoximation of a wide range of ketoximes and aldoximes to their corresponding carbonyl compounds with high yields has been achieved using graphene oxide (GO) and sodium nitrite (NaNO2) as highly efficient catalysts and air as the green oxidant under mild conditions. The mechanism of deprotection and recycling use of catalyst were revealed in deep experiment. The carboxylic acid groups on the GO were essential for high catalytic activity. (Figure presented.).

We synthesized or re-synthesized a large series of 2H-1,5-benzodioxepin- 3(4H)-ones 9 (Scheme 1), 4,5-dihydro-1-benzoxepin-3(2H)-ones 10 (Schemes 3 and 4) and 5,6,8,9-tetrahydro-7H-benzocyclohepten-7-ones 11 (Schemes 5 and 6), since the lead compound for the olfactory note of perfumes based on marine accords is a well-known benzodioxepinone named Calone 1951 (9b). We meticulously described the odor profile of each synthesized compound and discussed relevant structure-odor relationships (Tables 1-3). In particular, we revealed a correlation between the conformation of the seven-membered ring and the activities of these compounds (Table 4 and Fig. 3). We also clarified the effect of the position and the size of the alkyl substituent at the aromatic ring.
Synthesis of benzodioxepinone analogues via a novel synthetic route with qualitative olfactory evaluation
Drevermann, Britta,Lingham, Anthony R.,Huegel, Helmut M.,Marriott, Philip J.
, p. 1006 - 1027 (2008/02/04)
Marine odorants represent a minor yet diverse class of substances within the fragrance industry, of which 7-methyl-2H-1,5-benzodioxepin-3(4H)-one (1) is commercially known as Calone 1951, a synthetic first in the area of marine-fragrance chemistry. To determine the extent to which the characteristic marine odor of Calone 1951 corresponds to the substitution at the benzo portion of the molecule, a variety of aromatic substituents were incorporated into the benzodioxepinone structure (Scheme 1, Table 3). In light of the difficulty experienced in applying patented literature to deriving the analogues 12-18, particularly those with electron-withdrawing substituents, an alternative synthetic scheme was implemented for the construction of all analogues in favorable yields (Scheme 4, Table 3). Formation of the hydroxy-protected dihalo alkylating agent 24 via epoxide cleavage of epichlorohydrin (Scheme 3) allowed etherification favoring dihalo displacement and subsequent intramolecular ring closure (-→26a-g). THP Deprotection followed by oxidation of the alcohols 27a-g to the ketones 12-18 provided a general pathway to the benzodioxepinone products. The influence of the substituent nature on odor activity revealed a diverse scope of olfactory character (Table 4).
