Usage

Description

Neryl acetate has a very sweet, floral, orange-blossom and roselike odor. It is initially fresh and pungent, and then a honey-like flavor with a raspberry undertone. Neryl acetate may be prepared by esterification of nerol with acetic acid; also prepared from myrcene by hydrobromination and esterification.

Epoxy-Tethered Diels-Alder Reaction toward the Tricyclic Core of Kalihinols

A chiral-template-driven intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction has been used to build the tricyclic core of kalihinols, a group of antimalarial marine natural products. The key starting materials are commercially available nerol and sulcatone.

Synthesis of a model DEF-ring core of hexacyclinic acid

The first synthesis of a DEF-ring system of hexacyclinic acid is reported. The key steps being an intramolecular Pd(0) π-allyl substitution reaction, followed by a transannular iodocyclisation with acetyl hypoiodite.

Total Synthesis of Isohericenone J via a Stille Coupling Reaction

The first total synthesis of isohericenone J is reported. Key features of this synthetic strategy are a Friedel-Crafts reaction to construct the isobenzofuranone unit and a Pd-catalyzed Stille coupling reaction for the formation of the C5-C1′ bond, generating the natural product, as well as one of its isomers, in 6.0% overall yield in eight steps. This strategy provides a foundation for the synthesis of challenging isobenzofuranone and isoindolinone-type derivatives.

New neryl esters from Helichrysum italicum (Roth) G. Don (Asteraceae) essential oil

Helichrysum italicum (immortelle) is a dwarf aromatic shrub native to the Mediterranean region. The typical subspecies (italicum) produces an essential oil rich in neryl acetate and characteristic β-diketones, italidiones, highly valued in the perfume industry. As esters are an important group of aroma-active volatiles, herein the composition of the ester fraction of this immortelle chemotype essential oil was studied in detail. Chromatographic separation of Corsican immortelle essential oil enabled the discovery of numerous potentially olfactory-interesting esters of nerol and/or angelic acid, undetectable by direct GC-MS analyses of the unfractioned oil. Four esters of nerol and medium-chain branched fatty acids represent new natural products, while several other esters have a rather restricted occurrence in the Plant Kingdom.
