Usage

General Description

(3S)-Dihydrofarnesal is a naturally occurring chemical compound that belongs to the class of organic compounds known as sesquiterpenoids. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a sweet, floral aroma and is found in various plants and essential oils. (3S)-dihydrofarnesal is mainly used in the fragrance industry as a scent ingredient due to its pleasant odor. In addition, it also has potential applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Its chemical structure and properties make it a valuable component in the formulation of perfumes, aromatherapy products, and flavoring agents. Furthermore, research has shown that (3S)-dihydrofarnesal may possess antibacterial and antifungal properties, which could make it an important ingredient in the development of new antimicrobial agents.

Frogolide – An Unprecedented Sesquiterpene Macrolactone from Scent Glands of African Frogs

Some amphibians use chemical signals in addition to optical and acoustical signals to transmit information. Males of mantellid frogs from Madagascar and hyperoliid frogs from Africa emit complex, species- and sex-specific bouquets of volatiles from their femoral or gular glands. We report here on the identification, synthesis, and determination of the absolute configuration of a macrocyclic lactone occurring in several species of both families, (S)-3,7,11-dodec-6,10-dien-12-olide (S-14, frogolide). Macrolides are a preferred compound class of frog volatiles. Nevertheless, frogolide is the first macrocyclic lactone obviously derived from the terpene pathway, in contrast to known frog macrolides that are usually formed via the fatty acid biosynthetic pathway.

METHOD FOR PRODUCING OPTICALLY ACTIVE 2,3-DIHYDROFARNESAL

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a synthetic intermediate useful for obtaining optically active 2,3-dihydrofarnesal high in chemical purity and optical purity, and a satisfactorily efficient method for producing the intermediate. SOLUTION: Provided is optically active farnesyl enamine represented by formula (4) (*denotes an asymmetric carbon atom; R1 and R2 respectively independently denote H, a substituted/unsubstituted 1-20C alkyl group, a substituted/unsubstituted 3-8 membered-ring alicyclic group, a substituted/unsubstituted 6-15C aryl group; a substituted/unsubstituted 2-15C heterocyclic group or a substituted/unsubstituted 7-12C aralkyl group; and R1 and R2 are not simultaneously H or R1 and R2 may be coupled to form a ring).
