A Simple Synthesis of 9-Ketodihydro-α-damascone

The compounds, 9-keto-8,9-dihydro-damascones or damascenones, are used as the ingredients in the production of perfumes and aromas. Since these compounds are able to be converted into damascones and damascenones. 9-keto-8,9-dihydro-α-damascone [2,6,6 -trimethyl-1-(1,3-dioxobutyl)cyclohex-2-ene] (I) may be considered as a precursor of α-damascone. Until now, (I) and its analogues were synthesized by the multistep reactions.

The National Geographic Smell Survey . . . 1.The Beginning

When Editor-in-Chief Bill Garrett first approached me with the idea of doing an article in the National Geographic on the sense of smell, I looked at him aghast. How could you, I asked, do a story on somethtng that cannot be seen or photographed, described (what does a rose smell like), held, heard, or touched. The more I looked into it however, the more I was intrigued by the idea of tackling this subject.

Total syntheses of spirovetivanes and khusimone

The majority of these substances belong to the sesquiterpene group of natural products. Among these α-vetivone, β-vetivone, the norsesquiterpene khusimone, and three biogenetically derived C12-ketones provided the most exciting chemistry. Since the spiroketone and khusimone appear to play a significant role in the reconstitution of the essential oil, we have developed total syntheses of these substances. In an earlier synthesis of the spiroketone, β-vetivone was utilized as starting material; and more recently it has also been prepared by a photochemical route. Among the many published syntheses of β-vetivone two deserve special mention because of their elegance and stereo selectivity.
