Biomimetic cyclization of terpenoids within zeolite NaY

Abstract

In the present Thesis was studied, for the first time in the literature, the ability of the acidic porous materials, such as zeolites NaY and HY in catalyzing the biomimetic cyclization of terpenoids under confinement conditions. The results can be summarized as follows: A. Small terpenes, such as geranyl or neryl derivatives, cyclize readily to form primarily γ-cyclogeranyl compounds in >97% yield. The most impressive result was the cyclization of geranylacetone to form the natural product α-ambrinol in up to 75% yield. In addition, the natural product nanaimoal was synthesized in a few steps and in a biomimetic manner using as key reaction the intrazeolite cyclization of farnesal. B. The mechanism of terpene cyclization under zeolite confinement was studied through studying the product stereochemistry arising from geranyl acetate labelled at the C6 or C8 respectively. The results are consonant with a concerted mechanism in which preorganization of the substrate is necessary to achiev ...
