Novel synthesis of Planococcus citri pheromone

An effective method was proposed for synthesizing (+)-cis-1R-acetoxymethyl-3-isopropenyl-2,2-dimethylcyclobutane, a pheromone of the citrus mealybug, based on ozonolysis of verbenone that led in one step to the key synthon 1R,3S-3-acetyl-2,2-dimethylcyclobutanecarboxylic acid. __________ Translated from Khimiya Prirodnykh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 179–180, March–April, 2006.     

Sorption of Copper(II) Ions by Apple Pectin Modified with Organic Pharmacophores

Russian Journal of Physical Chemistry A - The sorption properties of apple pectin, native and modified by pharmacophores (nicotinic, salycilic, 5-aminosalycilic, and anthroic acids), are...     

Ozonolysis of dipterocarpol and its derivatives

Oxidation of dipterocarpol and its derivatives with ozone gave compounds containing lactone, lactol, alkoxytetrahydrofuran, aldehyde, and methyl ketone fragments in the side chain, as well as 1,2,4-trioxolane fragment in the A ring. The molecular and crystalline structures of dipterocarpol were determined by X-ray analysis.     

Synthesis of aryl-containing terpenoids based on 1,4-dihydronaphthalene

Successive transformations including oxidation of 1,4-dihydronaphthalene into 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-2-one, Reformatskii reaction of the latter with methyl bromoacetate, ozonolysis of the Reformatsky reaction product, and Emmons olefination of the aldehyde group in methyl 3-oxo-5-(2-formylphenyl)pentanate thus formed gave analogs of highly active dienoate juvenoids having an aromatic ring in their molecules.     

Synthesis of aryl-containing isoprenoids from 1,5-dimethylcycloocta-1,5-diene

A procedure has been developed for the synthesis of Pro-Drone homo analogs from the ozonolysis products of 1,5-dimethylcycloocta-1,5-diene and 1,5-dimethylcyclooctene.     

Effective synthesis of 2,3-<Emphasis Type="Italic">seco</Emphasis>-2,3-dicarboxyplatanic acid

An effective method for preparing triterpene 2,3-seco-2,3-diacids by ozonolysis of 2-exomethylene-substituted derivatives of betulonic acid and 28-oxoallobetulone was proposed.     

Transformation of triterpene ketoximes into lactams by the action of ozone

The principal ozonoysis products of triterpene ketoximes and O-methylketoximes in CH₂Cl₂ at 0°C were triterpene lactams and N-methoxylactams.
