摘要
A new synthetic route to α—damascone (4) starting from citral is described-The synthesis features allylatioa of α—cyclocitral (1) with allylic bromide in the presence of tin powder to give the crucial intermediate 1—(2',6',6'—trimethylcyclo— hexen —2'—yl)—3—buten —1—ol(2a) and (2b) in a combined yield of 70%.
