Novel multicomponent oxidation catalyst and process for producing epoxy compound therewith

A novel multicomponent oxidation catalyst that can be effectively used in, for example, an epoxidation reaction of olefins, etc., being inexpensive and high in versatility and that exhibits high catalytic activity; and a process for producing an epoxy com

Synthetic studies of the HIV-1 protease inhibitive didemnaketals: Stereocontrolled synthesis of an ester side chain

The stereocontrolled synthesis of the C1-C8 portion, the ester side chain of the HIV-1 protease inhibitive didemnaketals from the ascidian Didemnum sp., has been carried out through 15 steps starting from (S)-carvone as the chiral template. This approach involved the diastereoselective construction of three conjoint chiral centers by intramolecular chiral inducement, and generation of allylic alcohol intermediate through a key Grob fragmentation reaction.

TOTAL SYNTHESIS OF VARIOUS ELEMANOLIDES

Starting with a suitable substituted divinyl cyclohexanone, eleven naturally occurring 12.8-elemanolides bearing exo-methylene or methyl groups at C-11 and differing in substitution as well as in relative configuration, have been synthesized in racemic form.An approach to elemanolides with additional oxygen functionalities is principally possible by modification of the basic concept.Methods for the oxidative generation of terpenoid exo-methylene lactone and furan units are exemplified by synthesis of menthofuran and the p-menthenolides from isopulegols.

Synthesis of menthofuran

A new process for synthesizing menthofuran is disclosed. Said process comprises epoxidizing isopulegol to form the new compound isopulegol epoxide. The epoxide is then oxidized to form isopulegone epoxide which can be cyclodehydrated to form menthofuran.
