The facile synthesis of a highly reactive α-bromocaranone from (+)-carene is reported. This intermediate was found to generate diverse chiral building blocks through radical or carbocation mediated cyclopropyl fragmentation reactions in moderate to excellent yields. Furthermore, the formation of an unexpected carvone derivative prompted several control studies that provided mechanistic insight into an unusual transformation. This study not only demonstrates the synthesis of a variety of chiral building blocks but provides insight into the reactivity of keto-halo-cyclopropanes in general.

Starting from (+)-3-carene 1, naturally occurring bicyclic, monoterpene hydrocarbon, (-)-cis- carane-4-one 3 was obtained as a result of the two-step synthesis. Our investigations were focused on the optimization of chemical Baeyer-Villiger reaction of 3 leading to a-lactones. A mixture of terpenoid lactones 4a, 4b was obtained and next separated using column chromatography. The pure compounds were subjected to the evaluation of antifeedant activity towards three species of storage insects. Fusarium culmorum, Fusarium oxysporum and Aspergillus niger were chosen among six fungal strains to perform microbiological Baeyer- Villiger oxidation. As a result, three derivatives were isolated and characterized by spectroscopic methods. ARKAT-USA, Inc.

Electrochemical oxidation of sodium borohydride in diglyme containing aliphatic or aromatic carboxylic acids followed by acid-catalyzed hydrolysis afforded the corresponding primary alcohols in good yields.Furthermore, similar electrochemical oxidation in the presence of a variety of olefins instead of carboxylic acids, followed by treatment with alkaline-hydrogen peroxide, brought about novel electrochemical hydroboration to give the corresponding alcohols regio- and stereoselectively in good yields.
