Efficient synthesis of (+/-)-7-isopropyl-2,10-dimethyl-8(E),10-undecadien-4-one and 3,7-dimethyl-11-oxo-2(E),6(E)-dodecadienol (oxocrinol) under ultrasound
Gl. Kad et al., Efficient synthesis of (+/-)-7-isopropyl-2,10-dimethyl-8(E),10-undecadien-4-one and 3,7-dimethyl-11-oxo-2(E),6(E)-dodecadienol (oxocrinol) under ultrasound, ULTRASON SO, 8(2), 2001, pp. 123-126
A simple and convergent synthesis of the title compounds has been achieved
involving Zn-Cu couple catalysed conjugate addition of allylic halides to a
lpha,beta -unsaturated carbonyl compounds promoted by ultrasonic waves in a
queous medium as a key step in good overall yields. (C) 2001 Elsevier Scien
