Synthesis of (+/-)-Methyl Epijasmonate and (+/-)-Methyl Cucurbate

A novel synthesis of (+/-)-methyl epijasomonate (2) and the first synthesis of (+/-)-methyl cucurbate (4) were achieved startig from 2-allocyclohexane-1,3-dione (8).The synthetic epimer 2 had a stronger jasmin flavor than the trans-isomer 1 with 95percent purity.

Base-induced Novel Ring-opening of 2-Alkyl-2-chloro-1,3-cyclohexanedione

2-Chloro derivatives (4a-c) of 1,3-cyclohexanedione give open chain methyl esters (5a-c) with the retention of chloro substituent, upon treatment with sodium acetate in methanol.
