General Description

1(2H)-Naphthalenone, 3,4-dihydro-2-methyl-, (2R)- is a chemical compound that is also known as (+)-dihydronootkatone. It is a bicyclic ketone that is used in the production of perfumes and fragrances. It is a clear, colorless liquid with a woody, citrus-like odor. It is commonly used as a fragrance ingredient in various consumer products such as shampoos, soaps, and lotions. Additionally, it is also used as a flavoring agent in food products. The compound has been found to have mosquito repellent properties and is used in commercial mosquito repellent formulations.

Organocatalytic enantioselective protonation of silyl enolates mediated by cinchona alkaloids and a latent source of HF

Hidden benefits: The enantioselective organocatalytic protonation of silyl enolates has been achieved by using readily available cinchona alkaloid catalysts (1) and a latent source of HF that delivers "at will" the active catalytic hydrogen fluoride salt

Catalytic enantioselective decarboxylative protonation

We report a highly enantioselective, general catalytic system for the facile synthesis of tertiary stereocenters by protonation adjacent to cyclic ketones. The method relies on catalytic decarboxylative protonation of readily accessible racemic quaternary β-ketoesters. A range of substituted cycloalkanone compounds can be accessed through this process with high levels of enantioselectivity. Copyright
