Total synthesis and biological evaluation of methylgerambullone

First total synthesis of methylgerambullone (MGB, 1) isolated from Glycosmis angustifolia was completed via a convergent route. The effect of MGB on the contractile responses of the isolated guinea-pig ileum induced by acetylcholine was investigated. As a result, it showed a potent relaxation rate (78.66 ± 4.30% at 100 mg/L) in a concentration-dependent manner on longitudinal smooth muscle contraction of isolated guinea-pig ileum induced by 1 μM acetylcholine.

Stereospecific synthesis of (Z) or (E)-3-methylalk-2-enoic acids

The palladium catalysed coupling of organozinc or organotin reagents with 3-iodobut-2(or 3)-enoic acid is stereoselective and affords Z (or E)-3-methylalk-2-enoic acids. The method was applied to the synthesis of the E and Z stereoisomers of ocimenones and pseudo-tagetones.

Claisen Rearrangements with Mesityl Oxide Dimethyl Ketal. Synthesis of Ipsdienone, E- and E-Ocimenone, 2,6-Dimethyl-2,7-octadien-4-one and 2,6-Dimethyl-2,7-octadien-4-ol

4-Methyl-3-penten-2-one (mesityl oxide) dimethyl ketal was synthesized and utilizied in Claisen rearrangements with 2,3-butadien-1-ol and 2-buten-1-ol to form ipsdienone and 2,6-dimethyl-2,7-octadien-4-one, from which the ocimenones and 2,6-dimethyl-2,7-octadien-4-ol were prepared.

Terpenes and Terpene Derivatives, XVII. - Thermal and AlCl3-Catalyzed Reaction of Ocimenone

Bis(trans-ocimenone) (5),reported to be a naturally occuring compound, is formed by thermal dimerization of (E)-ocimenone (E-4). - Treatment of 4 with AlCl3 leads, in addition to unchanged 4, to a mixture of the rearranged products filifolone (6) and rac-
