SCCNFP Opinion Reports on Allergenic Substances

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.
