Pheromones and analogs from Neozeleboria wasps and the orchids that seduce them: a versatile synthesis of 2,5-dialkylated 1,3-cyclohexanediones

Chiloglottone, a wasp pheromone and attractant of sexually deceptive Chiloglottis orchids, and several structural analogs were synthesized. The synthetic approach is facile, high yielding and versatile, enabling rapid divergence to generate dialkylated analogs of chiloglottone. The key transformation was an organocadmium-mediated desymmetrization of glutaric anhydride derivatives. This library of synthetic 2,5-dialkylated 1,3-cyclohexanediones may assist in future identification of natural products in further species.

The scope of a previously-reported process for the desymmetrization 3-substituted glutaric anhydrides has been investigated.Thus, prochiral anhydrides 5-9 react with 1-(1'-naphthyl)ethanol (2) to give glutaric acid half-esters, which are esterified by treatment with diazomethane to obtaine the corresponding diesters 16-20.The degree of prochiral recognition is inversely related to the steric bulk of the stereodifferentiating group, which the series TBDMSO, Me, Et, Ph, i-Pr, and t-Bu giving ratios of 40:1, 16:1, 14:1, 8:1, 7:1, and 1:3, respectively.The absolute sense of the prochiral recognition was established by conversion of two of the diesters, 16a and 18a, into 3-substituted valerolactones (22a, 22c) of known absolute configuration.
Tobacco smoke chemistry. 1. A chemical and mass spectrometric study of tobacco smoke alkyl 2-hydroxy-2-cyclopentenones.

A series of alkyl 2-hydroxy-2-cyclopentenones, which comprise biologically and organoleptically active compounds, have been synthesized and subjected to high resolution mass spectrometric studies to clarify structurally significant fragmentation pathways. On the basis of these results, 26 alkyl 2-hydroxy-2-cyclopentenones were identified in the weakly acidic fraction of smoke condensate from American blend type cigarettes, eighteen of which had not been detected in tobacco smoke previously. The utility for identification purposes of the corresponding quinoxaline derivatives, obtained through condensation with o-phenylenediamine, is discussed.

Useful antibacterial agents in which a penicillin and/or a beta-lactamase inhibitor are linked via 1,1-alkanediol dicarboxylates are of the formula STR1 where A is the residue of certain dicarboxyic acids, R3 is H or (C1 -C3), n is zero or 1 such that when n is zero R is P or B and R1 is the residue of certain esters, H or a salt thereof; and when n is 1, one of R and R1 is P and the other is B, and P is STR2 where R2 is H or certain acyl groups, and B is the residue of a beta-lactamase inhibiting carboxylic acid; a method for their use, pharmaceutical compositions thereof and intermediates useful in their production.

Antibacterial bis-esters of 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acids and alkane dicarboxylic acids wherein the ester moieties are derived from different alcohols; one alcohol being hydroxymethylpenicillanate 1,1-dioxide, or the 6-beta-hydroxymethyl or the 6-alpha-aminomethyl derivative thereof; and the other being 6-[D-(2-amino-2-(p-hydroxyphenyl)acetamido)]penicillanic acid (amoxicillin); and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof; a method for the use of said esters and their salts, and methods for their preparation.
