Y-zeolite-catalyzed cyclizations of terpenols
Yu, Wei,Bian, Fengling,Gao, Yuan,Yang, Li,Liu, Zhong-Li
, p. 59 - 62 (2006)
Depending on the metal doped and the activation temperature, Y-zeolites can catalyze a diversity of reactions of geraniol (1), linalool (2) and nerol (3). Compound 1 can be transformed to α- and/or γ-cyclogeraniol (4 and 5) highly efficiently.
Synthesis of three putative kairomones of the beech leaf-mining weevil Orchestes fagi (L.)

The beech leaf-mining weevil, Orchestes fagi (L.), also known as the beech flea weevil, is a common and widespread pest of beech, Fagus sylvatica L., in its native Europe. It now appears to be well established in Nova Scotia, Canada. We report a novel synthesis of 9-geranyl-p-cymene and syntheses of 9-geranyl-α-terpinene and 1,1-dimethyl-3-methylene-2-vinylcyclohexane, making partial use of known methods. All three of these compounds are found in beech leaf volatiles and/or wood and are putative kairomones of the beech leaf-mining weevil.
Biomimetic cyclization of small terpenoids promoted by zeolite NaY: Tandem formation of α-ambrinol from geranyl acetone
Tsangarakis, Constantinos,Stratakis, Manolis
, p. 1280 - 1284 (2007/10/03)
Zeolite NaY promotes efficiently the biomimetic cyclization of small acyclic terpenes. Geranyl and neryl acetone undergo a novel tandem 1,5-diene cyclization/carbonyl-ene reaction to form the natural product α-ambrinol isolated in >65% yield.
