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.     

Reaction of lithium acetylides with car-3-ene-2,5-dione

The reaction of car-3-ene-2,5-dione (1), an oxidation product of (+)-car-3-ene, with lithium acetylides proceeds stereospecifically, but not regioselectively, to give only mixtures of regioisomeric acetylenic alcohols with thesyn-orientation of the hydroxy group.

Phase transformations of the Re<Subscript>0.3</Subscript>Ir<Subscript>0.7</Subscript> solid solution

Transformations of the nonequilibrium solid solution Re_0.3Ir_0.7 at increased pressure (1–10 GPa) and temperature (2000°C) have been studied. A phase transition from the hexagonal close-packed cell to the face-centered cubic cell without a loss of density and volume per atom has been detected.     

Synthesis of Analogs of Juvenile Hormons Proceeding from Phenol Derivatives

New potential juvenoids, esters of alkenoic and alkadienoic acids with phenoxy- and phenoxyphenoxyethanol were synthesized, and also esters of phenoxyacetic acid with alkenols amd alkadienols.
