The composition of the defence secretions of four species of Chrysolina beetles on feeding on St John's wort (Hypericum perforatum) has been investigated.In contrast with other members of this genus which produce cardiac glycosides these four species contain new polyoxygenated steroid glycosides.The structures of seven of these derivatives (3-9) have been determinated.

The oxidation of terpene olefins with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of the non-hemo catalyst 5a afforded mixtures of epoxides whose composition was dependent upon the oxidation protocol used in each case. With terpenoid enones, the mixtures obtained evolved from clean epoxidation of α-ionone 23 to the clean allylic oxidation of damascone 28 due to the progressive deactivation of the electron density on the double bonds present in this series. The oxidation of bicyclic and tricyclic terpenoids afforded oxidation products coming from epoxidation, to olefin degradation, methyne and methylene activation products. Probably, the most attractive result was the synthesis of the Magnus lactone 46, from the tricyclic ether 45, with 88% yield and 100% conversion.

Substituted γ-butyrolactones are important structural motifs in several natural products and pharmaceuticals. In this paper, we report the synthesis of novel γ-butyrolactone amine and thiazole derivatives from naturally occurring limonene. Regioselective bromination followed by nucleophilic substitution with different amines and thiourea gave desired products in moderate yield.

In (+)-5,5-dimethyl-4-(3-oxobutyl)tetrahydrofuran-2-one, C10H16O3, the absolute configuration at the chiral C atom is S. The five-membered ring adopts a deformed envelope conformation with the asymmetric C atom in the flap position. The oxobutyl group is planar.
4-(1-HYDROPEROXY-1-METHYLETHYL)-1,3-CYCLOPENTADIENYL METHYL KETONE: ITS FORMATION FROM α-TERPINEOL AND BEHAVIOR AS A DIMETHYLFULVENE EPOXIDE.

Ozonolysis of α-terpineol (1) then steam distillation in presence of acid gives the known 4-isopropylidenecyclopentenyl methyl ketone (4).This is oxidized in air to 4-(1-hydroperoxy-1-methylethyl)-1,3-cyclopentadienyl methyl ketone (10), a compound frequently reacting as if it were one of the elusive dimethylfulvene epoxides.It is converted by silica gel to two dimers (12, 13) of 2-acetyl-6,6-dimethylfulvene epoxide (19).Catalytic reduction of the dimers occurs mostly by exo addition of hydrogen to the conjugated double bond, and thermolysis of the dimers yields 4-acetyl-6,6-dimethylcyclohexa-2,4-dienone (20).With triphenylphosphine the hydroperoxide (10) yields two dimers of 2-acetyl-6,6-dimethylfulvene (26).This is the first reported isolation of dimers of a fulvene.The hydroperoxide (10) adds diazomethane to give an unstable pyrazoline (28); this pyrazoline loses nitrogen to yield a single isomer o' 5-acetyl-3',3'-dimethylbicyclohex-3-ene-2-spiro-2'-oxirane (29).Catalytic hydrogenation of the latter involves ring opening of the epoxide.
The Oxidation of 1,8-Cineole by Pseudomonas flava

, p. 1739 - 1746 (2007/10/02)
Growth experiments of Pseudomonas flava, with cineole and various metabolites of cineole as the sole carbon and energy sources, yielded results which require alterations to a scheme by which P. flava is proposed to utilize these compounds.The optical purity of the metabolites obtained from achiral cineole has been reinvestigated.

Chiral 4,4-dimethyl-3-phenyl and 3-(3-oxobutyl)butyrolactones have been prepared in high enantiomeric excesses by a mild acid catalysed cleavage and lactonisation of the Michael adducts obtained from asymmetric additions of isopropenyl magnesium bromide t
The Chemistry of Eremophila spp. XXV. New Cembrene Derivatives from E. dempsteri, E. platycalyx and E. fraseri

The isolation and structural elucidation of three new cembrene diterpenes from Eremophila species is reported. (1R,3Z,7E,11Z)-15-Hydroxycembra-3,7,11-trien-19-oic acid (3) and (1R,3Z,8ξ,11Z)-15-hydroxycembra-3,11-dien-19-oic acid (4) were isolated from E. dempsteri and (1R,3S,4R,7E,11Z)-3,15-epoxy-19-oxocembra-7,11-dien-18-ol as the malonate half ester derivative (15) was isolated from E. platycalyx and a variety of E.fraseri.In addition the preparation of (1R,3Z,7Z,11Z)-cembra-3,7,11,15-tetracene (13; all-cis-cembrene-A) is reported.
Selectivity and Reactivity in Some Oxidations with Pentavalent and Hexavalent Chromium Reagents: A Short Synthesis of Norbisabolide

, p. 1216 - 1218 (2007/10/02)
Selective oxidative cyclization of the t-hydroxyolefin (5) with pyridinium chlorochromate leads to a simple synthesis of norbisabolide (4).On the other hand, α-terpineol (7) on treatment with chromium(V) reagent undergoes facile oxidative cleavage followed by cyclization to give homoterpenyl methyl ketone (8).

Methyl 2,2-dimethyl-3-(2-oxopropyl)-cis-cyclopropane-1-acetate (III) on heating with phosphoric acid affords (+)-homoterpenyl methyl ketone (IIa).Bromination of III at 0 deg C in the presence of sodium acetate affords among other products methyl 2,4-dimethylphenylacetate (VIII).Methyl 1R-cis-2,2-dimethyl-3-(2-oxopropyl)cyclopropane carboxylate (XI) on heating with phosphoric acid affords 3,3-dimethyl-4-(2-oxopropyl)butyrolactone (XIV).Methyl 1S-cis-2,2-dimethyl-3-(2-oxo-2-phenylethyl)cyclopropane carboxylate (XIII) on similar treatment affords the 3,3-dimethyl-4-(2-oxo-2-phenylethyl)butyrolactone (XV).
