Methods are provided for synthesis of abscisic acid and 8′ analogues thereof (including an enantiopure 8′-acetylene analogue) including methods wherein the previously reported first step of oxidation of 2,6-dimethylphenol (VI) to 2,6-dimethylbenzoquinone, mono ketal (VII) is replaced by a novel two step process comprising (i) oxidation of 2,6-dimethylphenol (VI) using potassium peroxymonosulfate with a catalytic amount of iodobenzene to produce 2,6-dimethylbenzoquinone (XVI) and (ii) ketalization of 2,6-dimethylbenzoquinone (XVI) using ethylene glycol, trimethylorthoformate with a catalytic amount of p-toluenesulfonic acid to produce 2,6-dimethylbenzoquinone, mono ketal (VII).
提供了合成脱落酸及其8′类似物的方法(包括对映纯的8′-乙炔类似物),其中包括先前报道的将2,6-二甲基苯酚(VI)氧化为2,6-二甲基苯醌单缩酮(VII)的第一步氧化步骤被一种新颖的两步过程取代的方法,该两步过程包括(i)使用过氧单硫酸钾和少量碘苯氧化2,6-二甲基苯酚(VI)以产生2,6-二甲基苯醌(XVI),以及(ii)使用乙二醇、三甲基正甲酸酯和少量对甲苯磺酸催化剂缩酮化2,6-二甲基苯醌(XVI)以产生2,6-二甲基苯醌单缩酮(VII)。
