Abstract

The dehydrogenative synthesis of β-damascenone from β-damascone via the related allyl bromide intermediate was studied in depth. The requisite dehydrobromination thereof was found strongly solvent system dependent. Under respective conditions, the product was identified as dehydrogenation-derived a, 4-alkoxy-derived b and 4-oxo-derived c, accordingly. In addition, the conversion from b to a was successfully accomplished, thereby offering an alternative access (with one step more) to reach β-damascenone.
