Catalytic Friedel-Crafts acylation of benzene and unactivated benzenes such as chlorobenzene and nitrobenzene have been successfully carried out using activated hematite (α-Fe2O3) as a new, heterogeneous and green catalyst. Sonication of neat α-Fe2O3 in a water bath under air atmosphere at room temperature followed by heating at 200°C, dramatically increase the activity of α-Fe2O 3. With the catalyst loading as low as 5.0mol%, a wide variety of benzene derivatives were easily converted into the corresponding acylated products in a clean and high-yielding acylation reaction. It was found that the activated α-Fe2O3 could be efficiently recycled and reused several times by simple washing with ethyl acetate, this cannot be attained with most of the traditional catalysts.

Described is a novel genus of compounds defined according to the structure: STR1 wherein Z represents hydrogen, MgX and the moiety having the structure: STR2 and X represents chlor, bromo, or iodo; as well as 5-isopropyl-8-methyl-5,8-nonadien-2-one; uses of same as intermediates in a process for producing isosolanone and solanone; and organoleptic uses of 5-isopropyl-8-methyl-5,8-nonadien-2-one and 2,6-dimethyl-5-methylene-1-hepten-4-ol. The novel process of our invention involved the steps of: (i) formation of the compound having the structure: STR3 by means of reacting 3-methyl-2-methylenebutanal with the compound having the structure: STR4 (ii) acid hydrolysis of the resulting compound in order to form 2,6-dimethyl-5-methylene-1-heptene-4-ol; (iii) reaction of 2,6-dimethyl-5-methylene-1-hepten-4-ol with methyl aceto acetate in order to form 2,6-dimethyl-5-methylene-1-hepten-4-yl aceto acetate or, directly, 5-isopropyl-8-methyl-5,8-nonadiene-2-one; (iv) reacting 2,6-dimethyl-5-methylene-1-hepten-4-yl aceto acetate in the presence of an appropriate catalyst to form the 5-isopropyl-8-methyl-5,8-nonadiene-2-one; and (v) isomerizing the 5-isopropyl-8-methyl-5,8-nonadien-2-one in order to form a mixture of solanone and the isosolanone or 5-isopropyl-8-methyl-5,8-nonadiene-2-one.
