The transannular cyclization of epoxycaryophyllenes 2-7 catalyzed by TiIII has been investigated. This cyclization led to alcohols 8-15, all of them possessing a tricyclo[6.3.0.02,5]undecane skeleton. All of these compounds present pleasant aromatic properties. The cyclization takes place with high yields (> 80 %) and via the αα or ββ conformation of the intermediate radical I. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 2006.

The isomerization of β-caryophyllene (3), under treatment with SeO2, is described. Chemical correlations, between 3 and 14-hydroxy-β-caryophyllene (6) from Juniperus oxycedrus, are established. High resolution 1H NMR spectra and analysis by molecular mechanics of 3, 6 and 14-acetoxy-β-caryophyllene (7) indicate the existence of two conformational isomers, βα and ββ, in each compound. At 25°C, the βα conformer predominates in 3 and 7 but the ββ conformer predominates in 6. The higher percentage of 6ββ possibly derives from an intramolecular hydrogen bond. The treatment of 3, 6 and 7 with m-CPBA generates, in each case, two diastereomeric 4,5-epoxi-derivatives. The epoxides obtained from 6 have been isolated and analysed separately.
179. New Carbonyl Compounds in the High-Boiling Fraction of Lavender Oil

, p. 1843 - 1849 (2007/10/02)
In addition to the sesquiterpenoid compounds reported in (1) the in-depth analysis of lavender oil also led to the identification of new constituents with caryophyllane (1-6), cedrane (7 and 8) and other skeletons (9-12).Spectroscopic properties as well as partial syntheses of these compounds are discussed.
