Synthesis of Optically Active Synthons based on the 2,6-Dimethyloctane Skeleton

As part of a project aimed at the synthesis of irregular acyclic terpenes we have prepared some optically active oxygenated 2,6-dimethyloctane derivatives.The potential use of (3R,6S)-2,3-epoxy-2,6-dimethyloctane (6) and (2S,3S,6R)-2,3-epoxy-2,6-dimethylo

TOTAL SYNTHESIS OF VARIOUS ELEMANOLIDES

Starting with a suitable substituted divinyl cyclohexanone, eleven naturally occurring 12.8-elemanolides bearing exo-methylene or methyl groups at C-11 and differing in substitution as well as in relative configuration, have been synthesized in racemic form.An approach to elemanolides with additional oxygen functionalities is principally possible by modification of the basic concept.Methods for the oxidative generation of terpenoid exo-methylene lactone and furan units are exemplified by synthesis of menthofuran and the p-menthenolides from isopulegols.
