3-Alkyl-p-menthan-3-ol derivatives: synthesis and evaluation of their physiological cooling activity
摘要:
Different 3-alkyl-p-methan-3-ol derivatives provide a strong physiological cooling effect with potential application as food and cosmetic additives. In order to investigate the influence of the chemical structure on the cooling sensation, the stereoselective syntheses of 29 different 3-alkyl-p-methan-3-ol derivatives were accomplished. All the compounds obtained are odorless and were evaluated by taste, considering two sensations: a cooling effect and bitterness. The results of this structure-activity relationship study highlight that compounds with a (1R,4S)-configuration are the isomers with the more intense cooling effect and lower bitterness. In addition, the structure of the 3-alkyl chain affected the latter properties. Increasing the chain length over two carbon atoms does not change the cooling power, but enhances the bitterness with the additional feature that the branched isomers are considerably more bitter than the linear ones. Overall, the 3-alkyl-p-menthan-3-ol isomers with the best quality in terms of high cooling power and low bitterness are (1R,4S)-3-(hydroxymethyl)-p-menthan-3-ol diasteroisomers (-)-38 and (-)-42.

The telescoping of allyl‐palladium catalyzed ketone dehydrogenation with organocuprate conjugate addition chemistry allows for the introduction of aryl, heteroaryl, vinyl, acyl, methyl, and other functionalized alkyl groups chemoselectively to a wide variety of unactivated ketone compounds via their enone counterparts. The compatibility of the dehydrogenation conditions additionally allows for efficient

The use of allyl-palladium catalysis for the one-step α,β-dehydrogenation of ketones via their zinc enolates is reported. The optimized protocol utilizes commercially available Zn(TMP)2 as base and diethyl allyl phosphate as oxidant. Notably, this transformation operates under salt-free conditions and tolerates a diverse scope of cycloalkanones.

sulfoxide served as an efficient chiral enophile in a Lewis acid-catalyzed intramolecular ene ractions. Use of diethylaluminum chloride as a catalyst provided extremely high stereoselectivity in this enereaction. Based on the stereochemical results obtained, a mechanistic pathway for this asymmetricinduction is presented.

chiral enophile in a Lewis acid-catalyzed intramolecular enereaction. Use of diethylaluminum chloride as a catalyst provided extremely high stereoselectivity in the enereaction. The stereochemistry of the enereaction products were determined by chemical correlation and the NMR spectral analysis. A mechanistic pathway for the asymmetricinduction is presented on the basis of the stereochemical results
