Description

Application

2,6,6-Trimethyl-1-cyclohexene-1-acetaldehyde can be used as a starting material to prepare:

• (±)-Aeginetolide by oxidation in the presence of meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (m-CPBA).
• (±)-Dihydroactinidiolide (a C₁₁-terpenic lactone) via dehydration of key intermediate aeginetolide.

It can also be used as a key intermediate to synthesize drimane-related sesquiterpenes and substituted retinoic acid analogs.

Other Notes

Contains β-cyclocitral
