, (2008/06/13)
The invention is concerned with a novel process for the manufacture of compounds of the formula STR1 wherein R1 signifies C1-5 -alkyl, especially methyl, ethyl, propyl or isopropyl, and the radicals R2 each independently represent hydrogen or C1-5 -alkyl, especially hydrogen or methyl, ethyl, propyl or isopropyl. The process is characterized in that a compound of the formula STR2 wherein R stands for C1-4 -alkoxy, chlorine, bromine or C1-4 -alkanoyloxy, R1 and R2 have the above significance and R3 represents C1-4 -alkyl. is hydrolyzed and subjected to an aldol condensation and, where R=C1-4 -alkoxy, the reaction product is subsequently subjected to an acid treatment. The compounds I are for the most part known flavoring substances.

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.
