Application

Tiglic aldehyde was used in the concise total synthesis of 7-demethylpiericidin A1. It was used as starting reagent during the synthesis of:
  • alkyl-branched tetraene hydrocarbons, pheromone component for dried fruit beetle
  • E,E-2,4-dimethyl-2,4-hexa dienal, volatile constituents of the defensive secretions of Leiobunum nigripalpi
  • 4-methyl-2,4-hexadiene-1-ol

Analyses of the chief volatile constituents of the defensive secretions of three oplionids were carried out. Leiobunum nigripalpi produces three closely related C7 compounds: E-4-methyl-4-hexen-3-one(I), 4-methylhexan-3-one(II), and 4-methylhexan-3-ol(III), along with E-4-methyl-4-hepten-3-one(IV), E,E-2,4-dimethylhexa-2,4-dienal(IX), and a minor, unidentified component.

A concise total synthesis of 7-demethylpiericidin A1 has been completed. The synthesis features a titanium(II)-mediated cyclization of a (silyloxy)enyne as the key step and proceeds in nine steps from tiglic aldehyde.

Although benzene has long been recognized as a cause of human leukemia, the mechanism by which this simple molecule causes cancer has been problematic. A complicating factor is benzene metabolism, which produces many reactive intermediates, some specific to benzene and
