Notes:
Khusimone (1), one of the main odor-donating compounds of vetiver oil, is subject of the following study on structure/odor relationship. Ring opening of the carbonyl-functionalized bridge of the tricyclic khusimone leads to the bicyclic structures 2a/b. The enantioselective approach to these degraded structures is described, and the olfactory consequences are studied. Starting point of the synthesis is an enantiomerically pure enone ester which is easily obtainable from camphorsulfonic acid.
