Enantioselective synthesis of (R)- and (S)-curcumene and curcuphenol: an efficient chemoenzymatic route

An efficient enantioselective synthesis of curcumene and curcuphenol is described. The key intermediates, substituted butanoates 7a and 7b and their acids 8a and 8b are obtained in high enantiopurity (>99% ee) by a lipase-catalyzed kinetic resolution proc

Synthesis of (±)-2-methyl-(2'-hydroxy-4'-methylphenyl)-2-hepten-4-one (Turmeronol B)

The first total synthesis of the racemic compound is described. 2-Hydroxy-4-methylacetophenone was used as starting material and transformed into the target molecule in 6 steps. The synthetic Turmeronol B displays spectral properties identical to those reported for the natural compound leading to the confirmation of the proposed structure.
