Dynascone: The Ultimate Captive

In 1973, isolation and structure elucidation by NMR and MS showed this substance to be the hitherto unknown unsaturated ketone 2, having the same molecular formula as α-damascone but possessing a different molecular structure; this ketone has been named α-Dynascone.

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.
