Synthesis of bisabolane sesquiterpenes: A Johnson-Claisen rearrangement approach

Several bisabolane sesquiterpenes, (±)-curcumene, (±)-curcuphenol, (±)-curcudiol and (±)-curcuhydroquinone, have been synthesized in racemic form and fully characterized. The salient characteristic of our approach is that a Johnson-Claisen arrangement was

Reaction of 2-Hydroxy-2-methyl-6-(p-tolyl)heptane with Polyphosphoric Acid : Synthesis of ar-Curcumene, cis-Calamenene and ar-Himachalene

The reaction of 2-hydroxy-2-methyl-6-(p-tolyl)heptane (11) with polyphosphoric acid yields sesquiterpene hydrocarbons, ar-curcumene (13), cis-calamenene (5) and ar-himachalene (12).
