Simple Synthesis of 6-[4-Methyl-3-cyclohexen-1-yl]-5-hepten-2-on, a Precursor of α-Bisabolene and Its Isopropenyl IsomerThe alcohol 14 reacts with vinyl resp isopropenyl ether by Claisen rearrangement to give the aldehyde 16/17 resp. the ketone 3/4. Contrary to other reports this separable (E/Z)-mixture also occurs as a result of the synthesis following the pathway 7 → 8/9 → 10/11 → 12/13 (see also [2]). The bisabolene isomers 5 resp. 6 are obtained by reaction of 3 resp. 4 with methylidene triphenyl phosphorane. A mixture of 1 and 5. however, is formed from 3 via the alcohol 18 and its acetate 19. Likewise 4 reacts via 20 and 21 to give a (2/6)-mixture.
