Isomeric 10-sulfanylcaran-4-ols and 4-sulfanylcaran-3-ols were synthesized and used to prepare disulfides in high yields.
Synthesis of chiral thienylpyridines from naturally occurring monoterpenes: Useful ligands for cyclometallated complexes

On treatment with ammonium acetate, α,β-unsaturated ketones or aldehydes can easily undergo condensation with acetylpyridinium salts (Krohnke reaction). Four 'thienylpyridine' ligands, derived from (-)-β-pinene, (+)-camphor, (+)-3-carene and (+)-2-carene, were prepared according to this method. The multistep syntheses to get (1R,5R)-3-methylenenopinone (5), (+)-3-methylenecamphor (10), (-)-3-caren-10-al (15) and (1S,6R)-7,7-dimethyl-3-methylenebicyclo[4.1.0]heptan-2-one (18) are also described.

Examination of the toluene-p-sulphonic acid-catalysed reaction of (1S,2S,3R,6R)-(+)-trans-car-2-ene epoxide with olivetol shows that, inconsistently with the accepted mechanism, (3R,4R)-(-)-o- and -p-cannabidiols are produced as well as (3R,4R)-(-)-Δ1- and Δ6-tetrahydrocannabinols.Evidence is now presented that, as in Petrzilka's reaction employing chiral p-mentha-2,8-dien-1-ols, the reacting species is the delocalised (4R)-p-mentha-2,8-dien-1-yl cation (9).Similar terpenylation using (1S,3S,4R,6R)-(+)-trans-car-3-ene epoxide shows that besides the reported (-)-Δ6-THC, o- and p-cannabidiols, Δ1-THC and Δ4,8-iso-THC can also be produced.The nature of the products, the chirality, and the characteristics of the reaction implicate again the delocalised cation (9).Its formation via Kropp-type rearrangement is excluded and a pathway leading to (4R)-p-mentha-2,6,8-triene, which on protonation gives (9), is proposed.Protonated on C-8, the triene can be trapped and isolated as (4R)-p-mentha-2,6-dien-8-ol.The latter, made in (+/-)-form from citral, proved to be an excellent terpenylating agent for producing cannabinoids.Terpenylation of olivetol by the pinanes (1S,4S,5S)-(-)-cis-verbenol and (1R,5S,7R)-(+)-cis-chrysanthenol is compared.A major drawback of the latter is partial racemisation which occurs in the verbenone-chrysanthenone isomerisation during its photochemical preparation.Whilst Δ1-THC cannot be directly obtained from verbenol, its tertiary allylic cation permits a much higher yielding terpenylation than the secondary cation from chrysanthenol.
