The conversion of caryophyllene upon contact with Al2O3 and SiO2 impregnated with sulfuric acid was carried out, and the components of the resulting mixtures were identified. Having in hands such “standard” mixtures greatly facilitates identification of components of sesquiterpene fractions of essential oils and other mixtures of natural origin. The catalytic activity of silica gel impregnated with

Computer-aided rational design allowed to create variants of the sesquiterpene cyclase BcBOT2 that yielded novel tricyclic presilphiperfolane-type sesquiterpenes.

The solvolyses of caryophyllen-8 beta-yl p-nitrobenzoate (14-OpNB) and 15-norcaryophyllen-8 beta-yl tosylate (15-OTs) were investigated as potential model reactions for the biogenesis of the tricyclic presilphiperfolanol sesquiterpenes. Buffered solvolysis of 14-OpNB in 60% aqueous acetone at 125 degrees C afforded caryophyllene (3) as major product, accompanied by small amounts of caryophyllen-8 beta-ol (14-OH) and 5,8-cyclocaryophyllen-4 alpha-ol (16). In contrast, 15-OTs underwent a stereospecific rearrangement-cyclization to 12-nor-8 alpha-presilphiperfolan-9 beta-ol (17) upon solvolysis in 60% aqueous acetone at 75 degrees C. The structure and stereochemistry of this trans,cis,trans-tricyclo[6.2.1.0(5,11)]undecane derivative were established by NMR correlation spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. Two different mechanisms (paths A and B) for the conversion of 15-OTs to 17 by initial 1,2-migration of either the external or internal cyclobutane ring bonds (C10 and C1) followed by pi-sigma cyclization onto the trans double bond are discussed.
