A-Cedrene oxide

Cyclic ethers used as fragrances include a number of terpenoid compounds. Some of them, such as 1,4-cineole [470-67-7] and 1,8-cineole, occur in essential oils in significant quantities. Others are only minor components examples are rose oxide, ner-ol oxide [1786-08-9], and rose furan [15186-51-3], which contribute to the specific fragrance of rose oil. Caryophyllene oxide [1139-30-6], which has a woody, slightly ambergris-like odor, can be prepared by treatment of -caryophyllene with organic peracids. a-Cedrene oxide [11000-57-0] is another wood-fragrance compound, which can be easily prepared by epoxidation of cedarwood oil hydrocarbons.

Nicotiana. The comprehensive study mentioned already above (see Sect. 7.2.1.1) demonstrated also the occurrence of Cj VOCs, i.e., sesquiterpenes e.g., p-caryophyllene (Fig. 7.4), a-cedrene, different famesenes (Fig. 7.4), a-humulene and oxygenated sesquiterpenes (e.g., different cis-trans isomers of nerolidol, far-nesal, and famesol, as well as caryophyllene oxide) (Raguso et al. 2003). Further constitutive sesquiterpenoids from Nicotiana will be discussed below in connection with phytoalexins of this genus. 

In addition. Green and Pettus have reported efficient syntheses of a-cedrene, a-pipitzol, and ec-cedrenol on the basis of a novel domino oxidative dearomatization-intramolecular [5+2] cycloaddition-acetic acid addition reaction [96]. Indeed, the key step of the syntheses began with the oxidative dearomatization of ortAo-(pent-4-enyl)-phenols 92, followed by an intramolecular [5+2] cycloaddition of the respective phenoxonium intermediate across the tethered olefin to afford the corresponding tricyclo-[5.3.1.0 ]-undecanes, which finally added acetic acid to provide the final products 93 in low to good yields, as shown in Scheme 20.40. The benzylic... 

Stereocenter effectively guided the formation of the first two stereocenters during the [5+2] reaction. The sequence then terminated with the selective incorporation of acetic acid to generate a third stereocenter, setting it apart from other previous cationic [5+2] reactions. It must be noted that this oxidative dearomatization-induced cascade reaction is unique as it proceeds in the absence of para-oxygen substituent. Starting from tricyclic product 93, the three members of the cedranoid family, a-cedrene, a-pipitzol, and ec-cedrenol, were easily achieved in several supplementary steps. 

Semmler and Risse have studied the oxidation of cedrene by means of ozone. They obtained the keto-acid, Cj Hj Oj, which on further oxidation either by means of bromine or nitric acid yields a dicarboxylic acid.
