Usage

General Description

2-Methyl-6-oxo-heptanoic acid, also known as 2-Methyl-6-oxo-heptanoic acid, is a chemical compound that consists of a seven-carbon chain with a methyl group attached at the second position and a ketone functional group at the sixth position. It is commonly used in the production of various esters and flavoring compounds due to its fruity, cheesy, and savory aroma. This chemical is also used in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries as a fragrance and flavoring agent. Additionally, it can be found naturally in some fruits and dairy products. However, it is important to handle this compound with care as it can be irritating to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system.

A NOVEL SYNTHESIS OF (E)-3,7-DIMETHYL-2-OCTENE-1,8-DIOL SECRETED BY THE AFRICAN MONARCH USING THE RING-OPENING REACTION OF α-METHYL-β-PROPIOLACTONE

The regioselective ring-opening reaction of α-methyl-β-propiolactone with 3,3-ethylenedioxybutylmagnesium bromide in the presence of copper(I) catalyst afforded 2-methyl-6-oxoheptanoic acid, which was easily converted into (E)-3,7-dimethyl-2-octene-1,8-diol in good yield.

Oxidative cleavage of cycloalkanones with dioxygen catalyzed by supported catalysts or homogeneous systems: Evidence for novel active ruthenium (II) and/or (III) species

α-Substituted cycloalkanones are oxidized to oxo-acids by low-nuclearity complexes (Cu2+ or [VO2] +/[VO]2+ - exchanged Nafion beads), or homogeneous systems with ruthenium acetate complexes and [Ru(H 2O)6] (tosylate)2 in dioxygen (0.1 MPa) at 55-60 °C. The catalytic procedures compare well with previously described systems involving homogeneous catalysis with copper (II) or polyoxometalates such as "H8[PMo7V5O40] ·aq". The results complement the widely used oxidative methods for ketone cleavage in cases when protons and transition metal salts are involved. A tentative dioxygenase mechanism, involving peroxygen species, is proposed for these reactions.

Visible Light-Driven, Copper-Catalyzed Aerobic Oxidative Cleavage of Cycloalkanones

A visible light-driven, copper-catalyzed aerobic oxidative cleavage of cycloalkanones has been presented. A variety of cycloalkanones with varying ring sizes and various α-substituents reacted well to give the distal keto acids or dicarboxylic acids with moderate to good yields.

Sesterterpenoids from the sponge Sarcotragus sp.

Nineteen new sesterterpenoids and eight known compounds were isolated from the sponge Sarcotragus sp. collected from Soheuksan Island, Korea. The structures of these compounds were determined to be linear sesterterpenoids containing furan or related oxygenated functionalities on the basis of combined chemical and spectroscopic analyses. In addition, the configurations of several previously undetermined compounds were assigned. Several compounds exhibited moderate to major antibacterial activity (compounds 1-3, 17, 18) and cytotoxicity (3, 11, 12) against the K562 cell line and inhibitory activity against isocitrate lyase (6, 13).
