Starting from small cyclic ketones, continuous flow synthesis is used to produce medium-sized rings and macrocycles that are relevant for the fragrance industry. Triperoxides are important intermediates in this process and are pyrolyzed at temperatures above 250 °C. The synthesis is carried out in two continuously operated flow reactors connected by a membrane-operated separator. The practicality of flow chemistry is impressively demonstrated in this work by the use of hazardous reagent mixtures (30% H2O2, 65% HNO3) and the pyrolysis of no less problematic peroxides. All new macrocycles were tested for their olfactory properties in relation to musk.

Metathesis of cyclic alkanes catalyzed by the new surface complex [(ΞSiO)W(Me)5] affords a wide distribution of cyclic and macrocyclic alkanes. The major products with the formula CnH2n are the result of either a ring contraction or ring expans
A Simple Synthesis of Macrocyclic Hydrocarbons by Metathesis of Cycloolefins

Metathesis of cycloolefins normally leads to unsaturated polymers.Using rheniumheptoxide on alumina, activated by tintetramethyl and working in dilution via soxhlet-similiar circulation system the metathesis reaction was directed to macrocyclic dienes, which are the dimers of the initial cyclolefins.Starting with C7-, C9- and C10-cycloolefins symmetric macrocyclic C14-, C18- and C20-dienes are obtained in yields of 58-74percent.The metathetic dimerization of cyclooctene leads to 1,9-cyclohexadecadiene in a yield of 30percent.By hydrogenation at room temperature and normalhydrogen-pressure all cyclodienes were converted quantitatively to cycloalkenes (catalyst: potassium on alumina) or to cycloalkanes (catalyst: palladium on carbon).
