Question and Answer
Case Study
Natural Aroma Chemical Citronellal as a Key Compound in Organic Synthesis

Citronellal is a cheap, readily available and versatile starting material for the asymmetric synthesis of chiral compounds. The total synthesis of natural and unnatural compounds starting from citronellal can be divided into three categories: (1) the synthesis of pheromones, (2) the synthesis of cyclic and polycyclic compounds, and (3) the synthesis of acyclic compounds.
(11R,17S)-11,17-Dimethylhenconane, the communication pheromone of the ant Camponotus vagus, was obtained in high enantiomeric and diastereomeric purity from (R)-citronellal 1 by convergent synthesis. This was accomplished in two fragments, one starting from (R)-citronellal (1, fragment I) and the other starting from (R)-citronellol. Wittig olefination of aldehyde I with the resulting phosphite II gave the desired pheromone (11R,17S)-11,17-dimethylbenztriacontane (2) in an overall yield of 21%.
