(−)-Ambrox, a highly prized and commercially significant component of ambergris, finds widespread application in perfumery, cigarettes, cosmetics, and the food industry. Despite considerable attention to this research area over the years, an environmentally friendly and practical method for synthesizing (−)-ambrox has remained elusive. This study presents a succinct and efficient approach to (−)-ambrox synthesis, involving two consecutive alkylations at C-6, followed by an acid-catalyzed cyclization to give bicyclic ketones starting from (R)-carvone. Subsequent reduction, Barton Vinyl Iodide synthesis, alkylation, and an acid-catalyzed cyclization collectively achieved the synthesis of (−)-ambrox with a satisfactory yield of 26.2 %.
期刊介绍:
ChemistryOpen is a multidisciplinary, gold-road open-access, international forum for the publication of outstanding Reviews, Full Papers, and Communications from all areas of chemistry and related fields. It is co-owned by 16 continental European Chemical Societies, who have banded together in the alliance called ChemPubSoc Europe for the purpose of publishing high-quality journals in the field of chemistry and its border disciplines. As some of the governments of the countries represented in ChemPubSoc Europe have strongly recommended that the research conducted with their funding is freely accessible for all readers (Open Access), ChemPubSoc Europe was concerned that no journal for which the ethical standards were monitored by a chemical society was available for such papers. ChemistryOpen fills this gap.
