Heteropoly acid H3PW12O40 is an active and environmentally friendly homogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of α-bisabolol, a high-priced and highly demanded ingredient for the fragrance, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries, starting from more abundant biomass-based sesquiterpenic alcohols. The solvent nature remarkably affects the reaction pathways and product selectivity. In acetone solutions, α-bisabolol can be obtained in 55-60% GC yields from nerolidol and 60-70% GC yields from farnesol at complete substrate conversions, which are probably the best results ever reported for these reactions. α-Bisabolol synthesized by this method contains no farnesol, which is a potentially allergenic compound and should be avoided in the commercially used α-bisabolol. This advantage is especially important because the distillative separation of α-bisabolol and farnesol is a troublesome task. The catalyst shows high turnover numbers and operates under mild nearly ambient conditions.

Process for esterification of farnesol in an initial mixture comprising alpha-bisabolol, farnesol and optionally other components, with the following steps: 1. Preparation or production of the initial mixture, 2. Adding (i) a transesterification catalyst and (ii) one or more compounds of formula (B) [in-line-formulae]R2YnCO2R1??(B) [/in-line-formulae] in which the following applies: R1 stands for an alkyl residue with 1 to 12 C atoms; R2 stands for hydrogen, an alkyl residue with 1 to 20 C atoms, a cycloalkyl residue with 5 to 20 C atoms, an aryl residue with 6 to 20 C atoms or a heteroaryl residue with 5 to 20 C atoms; and Y stands for CH2, CH(Me), CH(Et), C(Me)2, CH2—CH(Me), CH(Me)-CH2 or CH2—CH(Me)-CH2 and n stands for a whole number from 0 to 6; or R2 stands for a group CO2R3, R3 standing for an alkyl residue with 1 to 12 C atoms; and Y stands for CH2, CH(Me), CH(Et), C(Me)2, CH2—CH(Me), CH(Me)-CH2 or CH2—CH(Me)-CH2 and n stands for a whole number from 0 to 8, or Y stands for an optionally substituted phenyl or naphthyl ring with a total of at most four substituents on the ring, n=1 applying.

Racemic (E)-α-bisabolene (E)(1) was synthetized starting from 4-methyl-3-cyclohexenecarboxylic acid (3) by a reaction sequence involving the Pd(0)-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction between the (E)-2-methyl-1-alkenyltrimethylstannane 8 and 3-methyl-2-buten-1-yl acetate (9). Three different procedures, in which a common precursor was used as key intermediate, were tested for the synthesis of racemic (Z)-α-bisabolene (Z)(1). The best one, which involved the reaction between bromide 18 and lithium dialkenylcuprate 19, afforded a mixture of (Z)- and (E)-1 in a 93:7 molar ratio, respectively. Finally, racemic β-bisabolene (2) was synthetized by a simple reaction sequence involving the Zr-promoted methylenation of ketone 22 prepared from 3.

It was shown that the acylhydroxysulfonium salt generated in situ from DMSO and trifluoroacetic anhydride causes low-temperature cyclization of geraniol, linalool, and nerol in an aprotic medium to a mixture of p-menthane monoterpenoids, and the maximum yield is obtained in the case of the last two terpenols.A similar result was obtained for E-nerolidol.

Stereoselective reduction of the appropriate α-diphenylphosphinoyl ketone or addition of the lithium derivative of an alkyl diphenylphospine oxide to an aldehyde or a ketone gives Horner-Wittig intermediates and hence the title compounds.
CHIRAL LEAVING GROUP: ASYMMETRIC SYNTHESIS OF LIMONENE AND BISABOLENE

The biogenetic-type asymmetric synthesis of limonene and bisabolenes is described.As model studies for the present asymmetric synthesis, the cyclization of catechol, biphenol and binaphthol mononeryl ethers 1, 4, and 5, with organoaluminium reagents are executed to furnish limonene as a major product.Since the reaction of 1, 4, and 5 has proved to proceed much faster than that of neryl phenyl ether under the similar conditions, the rate acceleration is attributed to the novel metal-anchimeric assistance of the aluminium reagents bound with the neighboring hydroxyl group for effecting the generation of the allyl cathion.This anchimeric effect is utilized for the enantioselective cyclization of (R)-(+)-1,1'-bi-2-naphthol mononeryl ether (8) upon treatment with modified aluminium reagent 9 to produce limonene with high optical purity (77percent ee).In a similar fashion, (R)-(+)-binaphtol (Z,Z)-monofarnesyl ether 16a undergoes the enantioselective cyclization to give β-bisabolene in 76percent ee.
