New neryl esters from Helichrysum italicum (Roth) G. Don (Asteraceae) essential oil

Helichrysum italicum (immortelle) is a dwarf aromatic shrub native to the Mediterranean region. The typical subspecies (italicum) produces an essential oil rich in neryl acetate and characteristic β-diketones, italidiones, highly valued in the perfume industry. As esters are an important group of aroma-active volatiles, herein the composition of the ester fraction of this immortelle chemotype essential oil was studied in detail. Chromatographic separation of Corsican immortelle essential oil enabled the discovery of numerous potentially olfactory-interesting esters of nerol and/or angelic acid, undetectable by direct GC-MS analyses of the unfractioned oil. Four esters of nerol and medium-chain branched fatty acids represent new natural products, while several other esters have a rather restricted occurrence in the Plant Kingdom.

PROCESSES FOR SYNTHESIZING ESTERS BY 1,4-ADDITION OF ALKANOIC ACIDS TO MYRCENE OR ISOPRENE

Processes are disclosed for synthesizing esters useful in flavorings and fragrances from ?-pinene, myrcene and/or isoprene. The esters can be used in the manufacture of citral, precursors to citral and other products or precursors such as vitamins, nutritional supplements, flavorings, fragrances and other products. The process includes a 1,4-addition of an alkanoic acid to the conjugated diene of myrcene (which can be generated from ?-pinene) or the conjugated diene of isoprene to produce esters thereof.

Toward a total synthesis of brassinosteroids; structure assessment of the Ireland-Claisen products of geranyl and neryl esters

As estimated by 1H NMR analysis, thermal isomerisation of the kinetic silylenolate derived from the ester (Z)-8a proceeds with acceptable diastereo and facial selectivity, thence affording an acid having the required absolute configuration for further elaboration to brassinosteroids.
