Abstract

The naturally occurring monoterpene Japanese Hop Ether has been synthesised in 14 steps in an overall yield of 29%. The key step of the synthesis, an intramolecular Pauson-Khand reaction, has been shown to proceed in good to excellent yield under mild N-oxide promotion conditions and with complete retention of alkene stereochemistry (for both cis- and trans-alkenes) in the product cyclopentenone.

Key words

amine N-oxides - cyclopentenones - natural products - Pauson-Khand cyclizations - stereoselectivity

The identity of each cyclopentenone product was initially elucidated by ¹H NMR. In particular, the non-olefinic proton α to the carbonyl in product 19 (from E-enyne 18), would be in an endo-position and, hence, would be more shielded; this proton appears as a multiplet at δ = 2.42-2.47 ppm. The equivalent non-olefinic proton α to the carbonyl in product 6 (from Z-enyne 7), would be in an exo-position and, hence, would be more deshielded; this proton appears as a multiplet at δ = 2.90-2.97 ppm.
