Studies In Syntheses Of Non-Isoprenoid Sesquiterpenes, Raojibhai Javerbhai Patel

Masters Theses

The purpose of this study was to find the shortest route to prepare the 1,9-dimethyl decalone system I, a key intermediate in the synthesis of non-isoprenoid sesquiterpenes. The decalone system I was prepared in good yield by dehydrating the hydroxyketone II with 50% H2SO4. The dehydration of hydroxyketone II was also affected by heating in the presence of iodine crystals to yield 80% of the decalone system I.

The basic kinds of approaches under investigation were the Diels-Alder reaction and the Robinson annellation. The Diels-Alder reaction between the conjugated diene, 1-acetoxybutadiene (III) and 2,3-dimethylcyclohexenone (IV) under …
