Racemic compounds containing a quaternary stereocenter (having hydroxymethyl and alkyl group adjacent to keto functionality) based on chromanone, α-tetralone, and indalone scaffolds have been synthesized. An enzymatic irreversible transesterification approach has been applied to generate the pure enantiomers in a stereocontrolled fashion. The pure enantiomers of some α,α-dialkylated carbonyl compounds have been synthesized by this method.

Novel multifunctional chemotypes based on α-tetralone, α-indanone, and chromanone have been synthesized by a chemo-enzymatic approach by applying an enzymatic irreversible transesterification strategy. The scaffolds synthesized can be further elaborated with subsequent enzymatic as well as chemical transformations for the generation of new sets of structurally related organic molecules.

The (+)-cis-chromanochromanones (2) and (3), respresenting the basic ring system of the natural insecticide rotenone, have been synthesised by a general procedure; the key step is 4-aroylation of the 4-(phenyl-sulphonyl)chromans (7; Z=SO2Ph).
Anti-juvenile hormones

Potential insect control compounds which are chromenes, as well as their method of preparation and use, are disclosed. Compounds have been found which are effective in the control of insects by inhibiting the actions of juvenile hormone. Examples of useful compounds are 6,7-dimethoxy-2,2-dimethyl-3-chromene and 7-methoxy-2,2-dimethyl-3-chromene which can be extracted from the common bedding plant Ageratum houstonianum. Such compounds act to induce precocious maturation of immature insects, resulting in death either during or within a short time before or after the molting process. Additional effects which have been obtained include sterilization of mature insects, interruption of embryogenesis in insect eggs, the induction of diapause in insects and the prevention of sex pheromone secretion in insects.
