で表される(R)−(+)−α−イオノン及び(S)−(−)−α−イオノンの新規な製法に関する。
【0004】
【従来の技術】
ラセミ体のα−イオノンはスミレ様の香気を有し、調合香料の素材として古くから使用されている。
一方、光学活性である(R)−(+)−α−イオノン及び(S)−(−)−α−イオノンは、例えば、Black tea(Solvent extract)、Boronia megastigma Nees(absolute)、Raspberry fruit juice concentrate、Tobacco extractなどから見出され、(R)−(+)−α−イオノンはスミレ様、果物様、ラズベリー様、花様の強い香気香味を有し、また、(S)−(−)−α−イオノンは、木様、シダーウッド様、ラズベリー様、β−イオノン様の香気香味を有していることが知られている[Lebensmittel-Untersuchung und-Forshung(1991)192:111■115]。
そして、その合成法については、例えば、α−シクロゲラン酸を光学分割して(R)−(+)−α−シクロゲラン酸及び(S)−(−)−α−シクロゲラン酸を得(Agric.Biol.Chem.,1987,51,1271■1275)、これを原料として、(R)−(+)−α−イオノン及び(S)−(−)−α−イオノンを合成する、下記工程図で示す方法が知られている(Helv.Chim.Acta.,1969,52,1729■1731)。
