Description

(+/–)-(2,6,6-Trimethyl-2-hydroxycyclohexylidene) acetic acid gamma-lactone has a powerful musky or coumarin like odor. As this compound is formed from photooxidation of carotene-like structures, its taste is related to certain fruit types at their peak of ripeness.


Clear, colourless liquid; musky or coumarin-like aroma


Dihydroactinidiolide is a member of benzofurans.

5,6,7,7a-Tetrahydro-4,4,7a-trimethyl-2(4H)-benzofuranone Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

DA was synthesized by protocol followed by previous report of Schihiko et al. [32]. In brief, 1 mol of beta-Ionone (Alfa Aesar, 96%) and 2 mol of m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (SRL, pure 55-75%) were dissolved in 10 ml of dichloromethane (DCM). The mixture was maintained at 2-5 C for 24 h with continuous stirring (Scheme 1).The product was purified by adding sodium thiosulfate to remove excess of acid. The product was subsequently subjected to alkaline hydrolysis to obtain benzofuranol which was further oxidized with chromic anhydride to a substance that was purified by flash chromatography (CH2Cl2/MeOH 15:1) yielded DA (220 mg, 85%) as a waxy solid. The products obtained were characterized by spectroscopic methods such as FTIR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and elemental analysis and have been matched by previously reported samples [26]. 1H NMR(500 MHz, DMSO-d6), delta 5.75 (s, 1H, CH, alkenes), 1.65 (m, 2H, CH2), 1.50 (s, 3H, CH3), 1.37 (m, 1H, CH2), 1.35 (m, 1H, CH2), 1.22 (s, 3H, CH3), and 1.18 (s, 3H, CH3). 13C NMR (500 MHz, DMSO-d6), delta 19.5, 23.3, 23.2, 29.6, 37.3, 40.6, 41.4, 86.6, 112.3, 172.0, and 182.8.
