The invention provides methods and compositions relating to an ultrapure formulation of 5-(1,1-dimethylheptyl)-resorcinol (ultrapure DMHR). The invention features methods for making ultrapure DMHR, including methods that minimize the production of unwanted side products (e.g., the production of homologous alkyl-chain impurities). The invention also features methods of making cannabinoids, such as (6aR,10aR)-1-hydroxy-6,6-dimethyl-3-(2-methyl-2-octanyl)-6a,7,10,10a-tetrahydro-6H-benzo[c]chromene-9-carboxylic acid (ajulemic acid), using ultrapure DMHR, including methods that minimize the production of unwanted side products (e.g., the production of homologous alkyl-chain impurities) in the resulting cannabinoid preparation.

The development of highly active and selective metal catalysts for efficient oxidation of hydrocarbons and identification of the reactive intermediates in the oxidation catalysis are long-standing challenges. In the rapid hydrocarbon oxidation catalyzed by ruthenium(IV) and -(III) porphyrins, the putative Ru(V)-oxo intermediates remain elusive. Herein we report that arylruthenium(III) porphyrins are highly active catalysts for hydrocarbon oxidation. Using catalyst [RuIII(TDCPP)(Ph)(OEt2)] (H2TDCPP = 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(2,6-dichlorophenyl)porphyrin), the oxidation of C-H bonds of various hydrocarbons with oxidant m-CPBA at room temperature gave alcohols/ketones in up to 99% yield within 1 h; use of [nBu4N]IO4 as a mild alternative oxidant avoided formation of lactone from cyclic ketone in C-H oxidation, and the catalytic epoxidation with up to 99% yield and high selectivity (no aldehydes as side product) was accomplished within 5 min. UV-vis, electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry, resonance Raman, electron paramagnetic resonance, and kinetic measurements and density functional theory calculations lend evidence for the formation of Ru(V)-oxo intermediate [RuV(TDCPP)(O)(Ph)].

Metal-catalyzed intramolecular C?H amination of alkyl azides constitutes an appealing approach to alicyclic amines; challenges remain in broadening substrate scope, enhancing regioselectivity, and applying the method to natural product synthesis. Herein we report an iron(III) porphyrin bearing axial N-heterocyclic carbene ligands which catalyzes the intramolecular C(sp3)–H amination of a wide variety of alkyl azides under microwave-assisted and thermal conditions, resulting in selective amination of tertiary, benzylic, allylic, secondary, and primary C?H bonds with up to 95 % yield. 14 out of 17 substrates were cyclized selectively at C4 to give pyrrolidines. The regioselectivity at C4 or C5 could be tuned by modifying the reactivity of the C5–H bond. Mechanistic studies revealed a concerted or a fast re-bound mechanism for the amination reaction. The reaction has been applied to the syntheses of tropane, nicotine, cis-octahydroindole, and leelamine derivatives.
Structure-odor correlations in homologous series of alkanethiols and attempts to predict odor thresholds by 3d-qsar studies
Polster, Johannes,Schieberle, Peter
, p. 1419 - 1432 (2015/03/05)
Homologous series of alkane-1-thiols, alkane-2-thiols, alkane-3-thiols, 2-methylalkane-1-thiols, 2-methylalkane-3-thiols, 2-methylalkane-2-thiols, and alkane-1,??-dithiols were synthesized to study the influence of structural changes on odor qualities and odor thresholds. In particular, the odor thresholds were strongly influenced by steric effects: In all homologous series a minimum was observed for thiols with five to seven carbon atoms, whereas increasing the chain length led to an exponential increase in the odor threshold. Tertiary alkanethiols revealed clearly lower odor thresholds than found for primary or secondary thiols, whereas neither a second mercapto group in the molecule nor an additional methyl substitution lowered the threshold. To investigate the impact of the SH group, odor thresholds and odor qualities of thiols were compared to those of the corresponding alcohols and (methylthio)alkanes. Replacement of the SH group by an OH group as well as S-methylation of the thiols significantly increased the odor thresholds. By using comparative molecular field analysis, a 3D quantitative structure-activity relationship model was created, which was able to simulate the odor thresholds of alkanethiols in good agreement with the experimental results. NMR and mass spectrometric data for 46 sulfur-containing compounds are additionally supplied.

Herein, environmentally friendly surfactants based on new silanols as substitutes for the isoelectronic phosphonates were explored. Surface tensions of aqueous solutions are significantly reduced, particularly with those silanols that feature a high ratio of organic moiety to silanol. Besides their use as surfactants, their potential as coating agents for hydrophilic oxide surfaces was investigated for the example of glass substrates. In the solid-state sheet structures with silanol, double layers are present, in which the sheet spacing varies with the alkyl-chain length. Soap from sand? A synthetic entry to surfactants based on stable silanols, which provide beneficial properties comparable to established detergents without sharing their eutrophicating potential, was established (see figure).

The reactions of the alkenes with supercritical organic compounds under non-catalytic conditions were investigated. The H and CR2OH, CH2C{double bond, long}OCH3 or CH2C{triple bond, long}N of supercritical alcohols (CHR2OH), acetone (CH3C{double bond, long}OCH3) or acetonitrile (CH3C{triple bond, long}N) added to the C{double bond, long}C bonds of alkenes form C-C bonds between the α-carbons of the supercritical organic compounds and the sp2 carbons of the alkenes.

A perfume composition contains at least 50% by weight of materials which fall into five categories defined by structure, and molecular weight. Amounts of material within each category fall within specified ranges of percentage of the whole composition. Two categories, ethers and salicylates, must be present. At least two of the remaining three categories, which are alcohols, acetate/propionate esters and methyl aryl ketones, must also be present. The compositions enable good levels of deodorant activity to be achieved along with consumer-acceptable fragrance.
