Synthesis of new fragrant carbocyclic compounds starting from isophorone
Written by sctunisie no commentsReaction of Isophorone 1 with arylaldehydes in alkali media leads to 3-[2-hydroxy-2-aryl]-5,5-dimethylcyclohex-2-enones 2 in good yields. These latters are epoxydized to give epoxycyclohexanone derivatives 4, or dehydrated to give semicyclic dienones 3. Compounds 3 are reduced into their corresponding alcohols 5 when compounds 3 or 5 are submitted to Diels Alder reactions, the tricyclic compounds 6 and 9 are obtained.
