摘要:
A transfer-hydrogenation process for preparing a carbonyl compound and an alcohol compound comprises the steps of (a) contacting a first carbonyl compound with a first alcohol compound in the presence of a transfer-hydrogenation catalyst in a first reaction zone at conditions effective to form a second carbonyl compound from the first alcohol compound and a second alcohol compound from the first carbonyl compound, and (b) removing the second carbonyl compound from the first reaction zone during step (a). The first carbonyl compound is a saturated aldehyde or ketone, or an α,β-unsaturated aldehyde or ketone. The first alcohol compound is a primary or secondary alcohol. The second alcohol compound is α,β-saturated. The transfer-hydrogenation catalyst includes a Group 8 to 11 metal. This process is useful for preparing and higher value alcohols, such as butanol or 2-ethylhexanol, from the corresponding carbonyl compounds by engaging lower alcohol (C2-C4) feedstocks instead of hydrogen (H2).

More specifically, provided is a method for producing an asymmetric conjugated diyne compound comprising a step of subjecting a terminal alkyne compound (1): HC≡C—Z1—Y1 to a coupling reaction with an alkynyl halide (2): Y2—Z2—C≡C—X by using sodium borohydride in water and an organic solvent in the presence of a copper catalyst and a base to obtain the asymmetric conjugated diyne compound (3): Y2—Z2—C≡C—C≡C—Z1—Y1. In addition, provided is a method for producing a Z,Z-conjugated diene compound by reducing the resulting asymmetric conjugated diyne compound, or the like.

The present invention relates to a process for producing 2,6-dimethyl-5-hepten-1-al, which comprises reacting 3,7-dimethyl-1,6-octadiene (dihydromyrcene, beta-citronellene) with N2O in a solvent or solvent mixture containing at least one solvent having a proton-donating functional group.
摘要:
A novel Rh(I)-catalyzed approach to synthesizing functionalized (E,Z) dienal compounds has been developed via tandem transformation where a stereoselective hydrogen transfer follows a propargyl Claisen rearrangement. Z-Stereochemistry of the first double bond suggests the involvement of a six-membered cyclic intermediate whereas the E-stereochemistry of the second double bond stems from the subsequent protodemetallation step giving an (E,Z)-dienal. The reaction may be represented by the following sequence.

In one aspect, the invention provides a method for synthesizing a fatty olefin derivative. The method includes: a) contacting an olefin according to Formula I with a metathesis reaction partner according to Formula IIb in the presence of a metathesis catalyst under conditions sufficient to form a metathesis product according to Formula IIIb: and b) converting the metathesis product to the fatty olefin derivative. Each R1 is independently selected from H, C1-18 alkyl, and C2-18 alkenyl; R2b is C1-8 alkyl; subscript y is an integer ranging from 0 to 17; and subscript z is an integer ranging from 0 to 17. In certain embodiments, the metathesis catalyst is a tungsten catalyst or a molybdenum catalyst. In various embodiments, the fatty olefin derivative is a pheromone. Pheromone compositions and methods of using them are also described.

A method is provided to promote secretion of cholecystokinin (CCK) by administering an active component. The active component includes acrylic acid and/or an unsaturated aldehyde having a main chain of 4 to 12 carbon atoms having a double bond in at least position 2 or 4, where the main chain has 4 to 9 carbon atoms when there is a double bond in only position 2, and the main chain has 9 to 12 carbon atoms when there is a double bond in only position 4. The cholecystokinin secretion-promoting composition can be used as an appetite suppressant. By adding this cholecystokinin secretion-promoting composition to food, appetite-suppressing food products can be provided.
