Abstract
The synthesis of α-damascone from isoprene, acetyl chloride, and 2-methylpropene is described. The catalysed addition of 2-methylpropene to 4-methylhexa-3,5-dien-2-one gave several products including the Diels–Alder adduct (4), which was converted into α-damascone by condensation with acetaldehyde.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
