Novel Synthesis of 3,5,5-Trimethyl-4-(2-butenylidene)-cyclohex-2-en-1-one,a Major Constituent of Burley Tobacco Flavour

The acetylenic diol 2 , prepared by reaction of but-3-yn-2-ol dianion with 2,6,6-trimethyl-4,4-ethylenedioxy-cyclohex-2-en-1-one ( 1 ), afforded 3,5,5-trimethyl-4-(2-butenylidene)-cyclohex-2-en-1-one ( 4 ), a major constituent of Burley tobacco flavour, upon LiAlH₄ reduction and hydrolysis. Vomifoliol ( 5 ) and blumenol C ( 6 ) were major by-products in this reaction.

A Chemical Study of Burley Tobacco Flavour (Nicotiana tabacum L.). III. Structure Determination and Synthesis of 5-(4-Methyl-2-furyl)-6-methylheptan-2-one (“Solanofuran”) and of 3,4,7-Trimethyl-1,6- dioxa-spiro[4.5]dec-3-en-2-one (“Spiroxabovolide”), Two New Flavour Components of Burley Tobacco

Two novel constituents of Burley tobacco condensate were shown to be 5-(4-methyl-2-furyl)-6-methylheptan-2-one (solanofuran, 4 ) and 3,4,7-trimethyl-1,6-dioxa-spiro[4.5]-dec-3-en-2-one (spiroxabovolide, 6 ). These structures were deduced from spectral data and confirmed by synthesis. Solanofuran ( 4 ) was prepared via the dye-sensitized photo-oxygenation of solanone ( 1 ). This type of reaction involving the uncommon ‘diene-addition’ of ¹O₂ to a conjugated acyclic diene system was thus applied for the first time to the synthesis of a terpenoid furan, a route that might have some biogenetic significance. Both solanofuran ( 4 ) and spiroxabovolide ( 6 ) display interesting organoleptic properties. Identification of these compounds increases to 210 the total number of Burley tobacco flavour constituents so far characterized in this laboratory.

Identification of Twenty-one Novel Constituents of Oriental Tobacco Flavour (Nicotiana tabacumL.) including (E)-3-methyl-non-2-en-4-one,pentadecan-15-olide, 8α, 13:9α, 13-diepoxy-15, 16-dinorlabdane, (Z)-octadec-9-en-18-olide,and (E)-2-ethylidene-6, 10, 14-trimethyl-pentadecanal

Investigation by gas liquid chromatography of a small but organoleptically typical subfraction of Oriental tobacco condensate led to the identification of 47 compounds. Of these 21 have hitherto not been reported as Oriental tobacco constituents, and 14 appear to be novel to all tobacco types. The latter are (E)-3-methyl-non-2-en-4-one ( 1 ), (E)-1-(2, 3, 6-trimethylphenyl)-but-2-en-1-one ( 3 ), pentadecan-15-olide ( 12 ), 8α, 13:9α, 13-diepoxy-15, 16-dinorlabdane ( 17 ), (Z)-octadec-9-en-18-olide ( 18 ), (E)-2-ethylidene-6, 10, 14-trimethylpentadecanal ( 21 ), the norlabdanoids 9 , 10 , 11 , 14 , 15 , 16 , tridecan-2-one, and 2-phenylethyl isovalerate. The macrolides 12 and 18 represent the first musk compounds detected in tobacco. Identification were made by direct comparison (MS. and/or ¹ H-NMR./IR.) with the authentic chemicals synthesized whenever necessary.

A Chemical Study of Burley Tobacco Flavour (Nicotiana tabacum L.) VII. Identification and synthesis of twelve irregular terpenoids,related to solanone,including 7,8-dioxabicyclo[3.2.1]octane and 4,9-dioxabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane derivatives

Twelve novel constituents isolated from Burley tobacco condensate by semi-preparative GLC. have been identified as (E)-3,4-epoxy-5-isopropyl-nonane-2,8-dione ( A ), exo-(1-methyl-4-isopropyl-7,8-dioxabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-6-yl)methyl ketone ( B ), exo-1-(1-methyl-4-isopropyl-7,8-dioxabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-6-yl)-ethanol ( C ), (E)-5-isopropyl-8-hydroxy-8-methyl-non-6-en-2-one ( D ), (E)-5-isopropyl-6,7-epoxy-8-hydroxy-8-methyl-nonan-2-one ( E ), endo-2-(1-methyl-4-isopropyl-7,8-dioxabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-6-yl)-propan-2-ol ( F ), 3,3,5-trimethyl-8-isopropyl-4,9-dioxabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-2-ol ( G ), (E)-5-isopropyl-non-3-ene-2,8-diol ( H ), 5-isopropyl-nonane-2,8-diol ( I ), (E)-5-isopropyl-8-hydroxy-non-6-en-2-one ( J ), 5-isopropyl-8-hydroxy-nonan-2-one ( K ), and (E)-3-isopropyl-6-methyl-hepta-4,6-dien-1-ol ( L ). Compounds A–K were synthesized from norsolanadione ( 2 ), and compound L from 2-isopropyl-5-oxo-hexanal ( 15 ). The relative configuration of the bicyclic internal acetals B, C, F, G and their δ-keto-epoxide precursors A and E is discussed. All these Burley tobacco flavour components belong to a growing family of metabolites structurally related to solanone ( 1 ). They are believed to arise from the breakdown of cembrene-type precursors.     

Synthesis and intramolecular transformations of 8-substituted 11-nitro-2-phenyl-5,6-dihydro-2H-2,6-methanobenzo[g][1,3,5]oxadiazocin-4(3H)-one diastereomers

The Biginelli reaction between 5-R-salicylic aldehyde (R = H, Me, and Br), α-nitroacetophenone, and urea affords 8-R-11-nitro-2-phenyl-5,6-dihydro-2H-2,6-methanobenzo-[g][1,3,5]oxadiazocin-4(3Н)-ones as mixtures of two diastereomers. The ratio of diastereomers depends on the catalyst (HCl) concentration in the reaction medium. In DMSO and DMF, the resulting compounds undergo oxadiazocine ring opening with establishment of a three-component equilibrium between 4-(2-hydroxy-5-R-phenyl)-5-nitro-6-phenyl-3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1Н)-one as the major component and diastereomeric methanobenzoxadiazocines as two minor components. Dilution of these solutions with water favors the oxa-Michael reaction resulting in the reverse transformation of dihydropyrimidinones into the corresponding starting diastereomers.     

Synthesis of 5-[2-(Phenoxy)ethyl] Derivatives of 6-Methyluracil, 6-Methyl-2-thioxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrimidin-4-one,and 2-Imino-6-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrimidin-4-one

A synthesis of novel derivatives of 6-methyluracil, 6-methyl-2-thioxo-, and 2-imino-6-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrimidin-4-one containing a 2-(phenoxy)ethyl substituent at position 5 of the pyrimidine ring has been carried out. It was found that 5-[2-(phenoxy)ethyl] derivatives of 6-methyl-2-thioxo- and 2-imino-6-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrimidin-4-one are obtained by the condensation of the corresponding ethyl 3-oxo-2-(2-phenoxyethyl)butanoates with thiourea or guanidine. 6-Methyl-5-[2-(phenoxy)ethyl]uracils can be prepared by treating 6-methyl-5-[2-(phenoxy)ethyl]-2-thioxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrimidin-4-ones with an excess of aqueous monochloroacetic acid solution. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1213–1217, August, 2005.     

Synthesis of 4-β-D-arabinofuranosyl-5,6-dihydro-2H-1,2,4-thiadiazin-3-one 1,1-dioxide and x-ray diffraction analysis of its 2′,3-anhydro precursor

Reaction of 2-amino-3′,5′-bis(O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-β- D -arabinofuran[1′,2′:4,5]-2-oxazoline with 2-chloroethylsulfonyl chloride in the presence of sodium bicarbonate followed by removal of the protecting groups gave 2′,3-anhydro-4-β- D -arabinofuranosyl-5,6-dihydro-2H-1,2,4-thiadiazin-3-one 1,1-dioxide ( 5 ), which by treatment with ammonia was converted to 4-β- D -arabinofuranosyl-5,6-dihydro-2H-1,2,4-thiadiazin-3-one 1,1-dioxide ( 6 ). The structure of compound 5 was unequivocally established by means of an x-ray diffraction analysis. The compound crystallized in the space group P2₁2₁2₁ with unit cell dimensions a = 5.883(3), b = 9.352(2), c = 18.769(7) Å, Z = 4. Its structure was established by direct multisolution techniques and refined by the full matrix least squares method to a final R value of 0.058 for the 1515 reflections observed.     

Novel polycyclic heterocycles. XII. Reactions of 1,2-dihydro-11-(trifluoromethyl)-3H-7H-quino[8, 1-cd] [1,5]-benzoxazepin-3-one with aromatic aldehydes

The Claisen-Schmidt condensation between 1,2-dihydro-11-(trifluoromethyl)-3H,7H-quino-[8,1 -cd][1,5]benzoxazepin-3-one, 1 , and aromatic aldehydes has been investigated. The acid catalyzed reactions yielded the trans-2-benzylidene derivatives, 4 ; the structures and configurations of the group of compounds represented by 4 have been confirmed by pmr in conjunction with the Eu(fod)₃ shift reagent. In contrast, catalysis with sodium hydroxide gave the isomeric 2-benzyl-endocyclic α,β-unsaturated ketones, 3. Finally, the 4 could be isomerized to the corresponding 3 by means of sodium hydroxide. The ir, uv, and pmr spectra of these compounds are discussed.
