Musk made to odor: A new oxy‐oxonia‐Cope macrocyclization to (3Z)‐configured cycloalk‐3‐en‐1‐yl formates is reported, which is useful in the synthesis of unsaturated and saturated macrocyclic ketones (see scheme). The synthesized structures provide new insight into the structure–odor correlation of musks, making it likely for macrocyclic and linear alicyclic musks to address the same olfactory receptors

By intramolecular condensation reaction of 2,15-hexadecanedione in a gaseous phase with a compound of a Group II element of the Periodic Table as a catalyst, 3-methyl-cyclopentadecenones is generated. Magnesium oxide, calcium oxide, or zinc oxide is desirable as the catalyst for the intramolecular condensation reaction. (R)- and (S)-muscone is generated by subjecting 3-methyl-cyclopentadecenones obtained as above to hydrogenation by using a catalyst. Palladium catalyst is desirable as the hydrogenation catalyst. Optically active muscone is generated by separating 3-methyl-cyclopentadecenones into respective components thereof by means of precision distillation and subsequently subjecting the separated 3-methyl-cyclopentadecenones to asymmetric hydrogenation by using an optically active ruthenium complex catalyst. The production methods described above enable easy and economical production of 3-methyl-cyclopentadecenones, (R)- and (S)-muscone, and optically active muscone.
