~ ~~The transformation of 36 bis(homoallylic) alcohols VIl to alkenones IX and X via /I-cleavage of their potassium alkoxides VIIa in HMPA has been investigated (cf. Scheme 2). These studies have established an order of /]-cleavage for 2-propenyl, l-methyl-2-propeny1, 2-methyl-2-propeny1, 1, I-dimethyl-2-propeny1, and benzyl groups in alkoxides 49a-56a and have allowed a comparison between the /I-cleavage reaction and the oxy-Cope rearrangement in alkoxides 74a 83a. As illustrative synthetic applications, a two-step preparation of propenyl ketoncs 1 5 4 2 from carboxylic esters is dcscribcd, together with syntheses of' or-turmerone (48), cc-damascone ((E)-71), a-damascone ((E)-109) and /I-damasccnone ((I?)-1 11).

“…The residue was distilled to give 4.3 g (73.7%) of lla, bp 98 ~ 104°C (2 mmHg (Z ) ) and p-toluenesulfonic acid (50 mg) were added to a solution of lIa (3 g) in ether (17 ml). After stirring for 3 hr at room temperature, the mixture was washed with potassium carbonate solution, dried over potassium carbonate and concentrated in vacuo to give 4.3g (quantitative) 4,) was added to a stirred and ice-cooled solution of lIb (4.3 g) in methylene chloride (30 ml). The stirring was continued for 2 hr at 0 ~ 5°C.…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
