Application of aroma extract dilution analysis on two different model mixtures of proline and glucose, reacted under aqueous or dry-heating conditions, revealed 2-propionyl-1-pyrroline (PP) and 2-propionyltetrahydropyridine (PTHP; occurring in two tautomers), besides 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline and 2-acetyltetrahydropyridine, as important roast-smelling odorants in both mixtures. A comparison of the isotope distribution in PP and PTHP formed from either 13C6-labeled or unlabeled glucose suggested a formation pathway for both odorants from the same intermediate, 1-pyrroline, when reacted with either 2-oxobutanal (yielding PP) or 1-hydroxy-2-butanone (yielding PTHP). 2-Oxobutanal, a possible precursor of 1-hydroxy-2-butanone, was shown to be formed in high yields (29 mol %) by reacting acetaldehyde and glycolaldehyde, two well-known degradation products of carbohydrates.

Paragraph 0017; 0020, (2019/04/26)
The invention belongs to the technical field of chemical synthesis, in particular to a method for synthesizing 2-propionyl-1-pyrroline, comprising the steps of: 1) dissolving pyrrolidine-2-one in dichloromethane, adding dimethylaminopyridine and triethylamine, adding di-tert-butyl dicarbonate under stirring, and after the reaction is finished, conducting washing with distilled water and saturatedbrine; 2) dissolving the intermediate product obtained in the above step in tetrahydrofuran, dropwise adding tetramethylethylenediamine and a Grignard reagent in a low temperature environment to obtain N-boc-4-oxo-aminoheptane; 3) reacting the N-boc-4-oxo-aminoheptane with trifluoroacetic acid to remove the Boc group to obtain propylpyrroline; and 4) conducting specific oxidation on the propylpyrroline by selenium dioxide to obtain a final product 2-propionyl-1-pyrroline. The method has the advantages of simple operation, low cost, low energy consumption, high yield, high product purity and the like, and is more suitable for industrial production.

A new straightforward synthesis of 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline, the principal rice flavor component with a cracker-like flavor, is reported.The reaction sequence involves the conversion of pyrrolidine into tripyrroline, subsequent hydrocyanation of the latter into 2-cyanopyrrolidine, oxidation into 2-cyano-1-pyrroline, and Grignard addition of methylmagnesium iodide, affording an overall yield of 16-19percent from pyrrolidine.In similar way, 2-propionyl-1-pyrroline, a recently discovered flavor component of popcorn, was prepared in addition to several higher analogues, i.e., 2-acyl-1-pyrrolines.Also, the synthesis of 2-(acetyl-d3)-1-pyrroline, a deuterated derivative of the rice flavor compound which is useful for the stable isotope dilution assay, is described.
