The necessity for producing large amounts of synthetic prostaglandins and analogs provided the impetus for a number of improvements in the bicyclo[2.2.1]heptene approach. Especially important was the development of an enantioselective modification for the synthesis of chiral prostanoids without resolution (1975) and the invention of a chiral catalyst for the stereocontrolled conversion of 15-keto prostanoids to either 15(5)- or 15(7 )- alcohols. 

A modification of the bicyclo[2.2.1]heptene route to PC s was developed in which the omega chain was introduced at the end of the synthesis, for the purpose of facilitating the preparation of large numbers of omega-chain-differentiated PG analogs of either the first or second PG family.

With the growing interest for the polynorbomene, photoresist polymer, and cyclic olefin copolymer, the synthesis norbornene or bicyclo[2,2,l]-2-heptene (NBN) has drawn significant attention because it is one of the most important precursor for these materials. Norbornene is produced by the reaction between ethylene and cyclopentadiene (CPD) via the Diels-Alder condensation process at elevated temperature and pressure [1,2]. 

The first attempted synthesis of a benzo[ ]thiepin derivative was the solvolysis of 7,7-dichloro-3,4-benzo-2-thiabicyclo[4.1,0]heptene (19)20). Unfortunately, the reaction of 19 in hot quinoline led to 2-chloronaphthalene which suggested the reaction mechanism as shown below. In the case of the reaction of l,l-dichloro-7b-ethoxy-... 

Thus, 4,5-benzo-3-thiatricyclo[4.1.0.02 7]heptene (46), which is regarded as a valence isomer of benzo[8]thiepin (4), appears to be an attractive precursor to 4. The most obvious method for the synthesis of 46 would be the application of the elegant Katz method 37> to the benzvalene synthesis. The well established success of the preparation of 43 36) by the Katz method makes this a likely route to 46. 

Evidence for de novo synthesis of pheromone components was obtained by showing that labeled acetate and mevalonate were incorporated into ipsdienol by male Ips pini [103,104]. Similarly, labeled acetate and other labeled intermediates were shown to be incorporated into frontalin in a number of Dendroctonus species [105]. Possible precursors to frontalin include 6-methyl-6-hep-ten-2-one, which was incorporated into frontalin by D. ruffipennis [106]. The precursor 6-methyl-6-hepten-2-one also was shown to be converted to bre-vicomin in the bark beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae [107]. In addition, the expression patterns of HMG-CoA reductase and HMG-CoA synthase are tightly correlated with frontalin production in Dendroctonus jeffreyi [108, 109]. A geranyl diphosphate synthase cDNA from I. pini was also isolated, functionally expressed, and modeled [110]. These data indicate that the de novo isoprenoid biosynthetic pathway is present in bark beetles. A variety of other monoterpene alcohols such as myrcenol, pityol, and sulcitol are probably synthesized through similar pathways [111]... 

One mole of isoprene reacted with one mole of acetoacetate by using a bidentate phosphine as ligand (56). Reaction of 2,3-dimethylbutadiene with acetoacetate was carried out by using PdCl2 in the presence of sodium phenoxide. When PPh3 was used, a 1 2 adduct was obtained. On the other hand, use of P-phenyl-l-phospha-3-methyl-3-cyclopentene (105) at 100°C caused the 1 1 addition to give 3-carbomethoxy-5,6-dimethyl-5-hepten-2-one (106), from which 5,6-dimethyl-5-hepten-2-one (107) was formed. This compound is the useful intermediate for a-irone synthesis (96). 

Electrocyclic closure of butadiene units encased within cycloheptane rings has been used to obtain bicyclo[3.2.0]heptene systems (Scheme 5)12. For example, irradiation of eucarvone 21 led to the formation of adduct 22 in 52% yield via a disrotatory ring closure123. This adduct was used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of the pheromone grandisol, 23, which proceeded in 20% overall yield from 22. In their synthesis of a-lumicolchicine. Chapman and coworkers utilized a photochemically initiated four-electron disrotatory photocyclization of colchicine to produce /Murnicolchicine 24a and its /-isomer 24b in a 2 1 ratio12b. These adducts were then converted, in a second photochemical step, to the anti head-to-head dimer a-lumicolchicine 25. 

Bicyclo[2.2.1]hepten-7-one is a useful intermediate in the synthesis of a variety of norbornane derivatives. The present procedure involves a four-step synthesis from hexachlorocyclo-pentadiene with a 39% overall yield. The next best method3 involves a four-step synthesis from norbornadiene with a 15% overall yield. 

Recently, Malpass et al. reported a synthesis of epibatidine isomers also under reductive Heck conditions [134, 135]. 2-Azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptene 167 was assembled by cycloaddition of an iminium salt with cyclopentadiene. Treatment of 167 with 2-chloro-5-iodopyridine provided a mixture of exo-5-(6-chloro-3-pyridyl) derivative 168 and exo-6-(6-chloro-3-pyridyl) derivative 169. 

Adults of the Steninae possess paired eversible abdominal defensive gland reservoirs [119,128]. When the beetles walk on the water surface the spreading secretion propels the beetle forward which represents an unique escape mechanism. The secretion contains isopiperitenole 57,1,8-cineole 58,6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one and the unique spreading alkaloid stenusine, N-ethyl-3-(2-methylbutyl)piperidine 59. Natural stenusine was found to be a mixture of all four stereoisomers in a ratio of (S, S) (S, R) (R, R) (R, S)=43 40 13 4. An enantioselective synthesis of stenusine has been carried out via an Enders-approach [129].

Additional examples are the synthesis of the pheromone (iS )-6-methyl-5-hepten-2-ol (S-sulca-tol) (8)61 and of (/t)-2,3-epoxypropyl butanolate (9)62, which serves as the starting material in the synthesis of the -blocker l-(l-naphthenyloxy)-3-isopropylamino-2-propanol10. 

Synthesis from 6-Methyl-5-hepten-2-one. The total synthesis of linalool starts with 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one several large-scale processes have been developed for synthesizing this compound ... 

Industrial synthesis of nerolidol starts with linalool, which is converted into ger-anylacetone by using diketene, ethyl acetoacetate, or isopropenyl methyl ether, analogous to the synthesis of 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one from 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol. Addition of acetylene and partial hydrogenation of the resultant dehydroner-olidol produces a mixture of cis- and trans-nerolidol racemates. 

Synthesis from Dehydrolinalool. Dehydrolinalool is produced on a large scale from 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one and acetylene and can be isomerized to citral in high yield by a number of catalysts. Preferred catalysts include organic orthovanadates [55], organic trisilyl oxyvanadates [56], and vanadium catalysts with silanols added to the reaction system [57]. 

Methyl-5-hepten-2-one is an important intermediate in the synthesis of terpenoids. Its odor properties are not impressive. It occurs in nature as a decomposition product of terpenes. Tagetone [6752-80-3] is a major component of tagetes oil. Solanone [1937-45-8] and pseudoionone [141-10-6] are acyclic Cn ketones with a terpenoid skeleton. Solanone is one of the flavor-determining constituents of tobacco, pseudoionone is an intermediate in the synthesis of ionones. 

This method constitutes a convenient synthesis of substituted tricyclo[2.2.0.02,6]hexane derivatives. It is surprising that the ring strain associated with these derivatives would permit their preparation at such high temperatures. A homologous reaction involves the intramolecular [2 + 2] cycloaddition of 2-vinylphenyl substituted cyclopropenes 5 which give benzotricy-clo[3.2,0.02,7]heptenes 6.74 This reaction also proceeds by sensitized photolysis but gives a more complex mixture.
