Synthesis of the enantiomeric forms of α- and γ-damascone starting from commercial racemic α-ionone
Serra, Stefano,Fuganti, Claudio
, p. 1573 - 1580 (2007/10/03)
A straightforward synthesis of both enantiomers of α- and γ-damascone is described. The title compounds were prepared by a divergent pathway starting from the enantiomeric forms of (6RS,7SR,9RS)-7-hydroxy-7,8-dihydro-α-ionol and of (6RS,7SR,9RS)-7-hydroxy

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.
APPLICATION OF BIOCHEMICAL METHODS IN ENANTIOSELECTIVE SYNTHESIS OF BIOACTIVE NATURAL PRODUCTS

Enzymes as well as yeasts were used in enantioselective syntheses of bioregulators such as hormones and semiochemicals.Lipases and esterases were employed in achieving optical resolution, conversion of meso-compounds to optically active compounds, and macrolactonization.Lactase effected glucosidation of a phenolic hydroxy ketone without any protection of the functional groups.Yeasts provided a variety of optically active hydroxy esters and ketones, which served as versatile non-racemic chiral building blocks.
Efficient Synthesis of Enantiomerically Pure α-Ionone from (R)- and (S)-α-Damascone
Fehr, Charles,Guntern, Olivier
, p. 1023 - 1028 (2007/10/02)
(R)- and (S)-α-ionone ((R)- and (S)-1, resp.) were prepared from (R)- and (S)-α-damascone ((R)- and (S)-3, resp.) without racemization in 48percent yield employing a new enone transposition.The described transposition is complementary to existing methods whose application is often prohibited by the structural requirements of the substrate.The now easily accessible α-ionones of desired absolute configuration are useful as chiral building blocks for terpenoid syntheses.
