Highcastle

Abstract: A playful, witty, reflective memoir of childhood by the science fiction master Stanisław Lem. With Highcastle, Stanisław Lem offers a memoir of his childhood and youth in prewar Lvov. Reflective, artful, witty, playful—“I was a monster,” he observes ruefully—this lively and charming book describes a youth spent reading voraciously (he was especially interested in medical texts and French novels), smashing toys, eating pastries, and being terrorized by insects.

“…that recalls tuberose and gardenia. It is now known by its commercial name Aprifloren (111) [125] and sustainably produced by radical cyclization of methyl crotonate (221) and heptanol (220) as delineated in Scheme 27. It has been used at 0.2 % in "212 VIP Men" (Carolina Herrera, 2011) by Emilie Coppermann with Dave Apel, Lucas Sieuzac, and Carlos Vinals, together with 0.4 % of Ambrocenide (236 vide supra).…”

“…As depicted in Scheme 27, the renewable heptanol (220) stems from methyl ricinolate (218), which is available ex castor oil produced by cold expression of castor beans (Ricinus communis L.). Pyrolysis at 550 °C in the Oleris process provides methyl undecylenate (UAME, 219) and heptanal (53), the latter which is reduced to heptanol (220). Reaction of this renewable heptanol (220) with methyl crotonate provides in comparison to Aprifloren (111) the unsubstituted γ-decalactone known for its intense creamy-fruity peach odor also as 'Pêche Pure'.…”
