Synthesis of aliphatic aldehydes

An easy procedure for synthesis of aliphatic aldehydes has been realized in heterogeneous medium from dimethyl sulfoxide, halides and bicarbonate anions. The mixture was irradiated with microwave for a short time and lead to desired products. A number of aliphatic aldehydes were obtained in mild conditions with a good yield.

A NEW APPROACH TO THE SYNTHESIS OF OPTICALLY ACTIVE DISPARLURES - ATTRACTANTS OF Porthetria dispar

A fairly simple and original one-stage method of obtaining optically active attractants of Porthetria dispar-(+)-and (-)-2-methyl-Z- and E-7,8-epoxyoctadecanes has been developed.The synthesis is based on the epoxidation of 2-methyloctadec-Z- and -E-7-enes by chiral peroxide complexes of molybdenum of the type of MoO5-L* in an organic solvent at room temperature.Derivatives of tartaric, lactic, β-aminopropionic, and aspartic acids have been used as the chiral ligands (L*).
