The furanoid fatty acid F5 has been synthesized using a mercury(II) catalyzed isomerization of 2-(1,2-oxiranylcyclododecyl)-3-nonyn-2-ol.

The titanium tetrachloride promoted reaction of allylsilanes 1 with 1-acetylcyclohexene is shown to afford the silylbicyclo[4.3.0]nonanes 9 ([3 + 2] cycloaddition products) along with the 1-acetyl-2-allylcyclohexane 4 (Hosomi-Sakurai product). Here we report that systematic variation of the substituents at the silicon atom of 1 allows suppression of the classical Hosomi Sakurai reaction in favor of the [3+2] cycloaddition. Cycloaddition of the allylsilanes 1d, 1i, and 1k with 1-acetylcycloalkenes 10, containing a 5-, 6-, 7-, 8-, or 12-membered ring, gives rise to the corresponding silylbicyclo[n.3.0]alkanes 11-13. The cycloaddition of allyltriisopropylsilane (1k) and 1-acetyl-2-methylcycloalkenes 15 provides silylbicyclo[n.3.0]alkanes 16 with two contiguous quaternary carbon centers. The stereochemistry of the silylbicyclo[n.3.0]alkanes 11a-c and 14 is unambiguously determined by X-ray analysis and 13C NMR spectroscopy.
Musk-like scents and their manufacture

New 1-acyl- and 1-hydroxymethyl-cyclododecanes and -cyclododecenes. The new 1-acyl-cyclododecenes and -cyclododecanes are obtained by a Rupe or Meyer-Schuster rearrangement, with or without subsequent hydrogenation in the presence of Ni, Pd and Pt catalysts. The 1-acyl-cyclododecenes and -cyclododecanes are valuable scents of the basic type of the sought-after macrocyclic musk scents. Furthermore, they are used for the manufacture of numerous other new 1-substituted or 1-and 2-substituted cyclododecenes and cyclododecanes having good scent characteristics.
