Several 3-alkylphenols including 3-undecylphenol, which was isolated from a Sumatran rainforest plant, were synthesized to investigate their antinematodal activity against the phytopathogenic nematodes, Bursapherencus xylophilus. A three-step synthesis involving the treatment of 2-cyclohexen-1-one with the Grignard reagent, oxidation of the resulting 1-alkyl-2-cyclohexen-1-ol and subsequent aromatization of 3-alkyl-2-cyclohexen-1-one successfully afforded such phenols. Among the 3-alkylphenols, 3-nonylphenol showed the highest activity, while 3-decylphenol and 3-undecylphenol also showed high activity.

Resolutions of endo-bicyclo[4.1.O]heptan-2-ols were achieved by acylation in the presence of lipase from Candida antarctica (Novozym). The (1S,2R,6R) enantiomers reacted faster and the enantiomeric ratios were between 60 and 800 for the 6-substituted bicycloalkanols.
