Abstract

Farnesylacetone (2 : 6 : 10 - trimethyl - penta-decatriene-1 (or 2) : 6 : 10-one-14) is obtained as a mixture of stereoisomers by converting nerolidol into nerolidyl acetoacetate and pyrolysing the latter; the nerolidyl acetoacetate is obtained from nerolidol either by treating it with diketene, preferably in the presence of the sodium derivative of nerolidol, or by the action of a lower aliphatic ester of acetoacetic acid (e.g. methyl, ethyl) in the presence of an alcohol exchange catalyst such as potassium carbonate. In the latter case, the nerolidyl acetoacetate may be converted into farnesyl acetone without being isolated, the reaction mixture being merely heated. The pyrolysis may be effected in the presence or absence of an alkaline catalyst. Farnesyl acetone may be catalytically hydrogenated to 2 : 6 : 10 - trimethyl - pentadecanol-14 and this converted into 2 : 6 : 10-trimethyl-pentadecanone-14 by catalytic dehydrogenation or by oxidation, e.g. with chromic acid. The semicarbazone of the saturated ketone is described.
