General description

(1S)-(-)-Verbenone is one of the main components of the essential oil of Suregada zanzibariensis leaves. It can be prepared by the biotransformation of (-)-α-pinene. (1S)-(-)-Verbenone acts as an antiaggregation pheromone towards the aggregation pheromone released by western pine beetle (WPB).

Application

(1S)-(−)-Verbenone can be used along with (1R)-(+)-nopinone for the stereoselective synthesis of chiral annulated indene derivatives via acid-catalyzed electrocyclic reaction. It can also be employed as a starting material in the preparation of verbenone derivatives containing a 4-styryl scaffold with potent anti-ischemic property.

A series of novel (1S)-(-)-verbenone derivatives was synthesized bearing a 4-styryl scaffold. The synthesized compounds were tested for their anti-oxidant, anti-excitotoxic, and anti-ischemic activities. These derivatives significantly reduced oxygen-glucose deprivation-induced neuronal injury and N-methyl-D-aspartic acid-evoked excitotoxicity in cortical neurons. Furthermore
