RESUMO
DAMASCENOLIDETM [1, 4-(4-methylpent-3-en-1-yl)furan-2(5H)-one], which is isolated from damask rose, is a useful aroma compound with a citrus-like odor. We have previously reported on the synthesis and odor properties of 34 analogs of 1 as part of our new aroma compound development project. In order to develop better aroma compounds and to gather more information on structure-odor relationships, 6 novel sulfur-containing analogs of 1 were synthesized. Odor evaluation revealed that their odors differed significantly from those of the corresponding sulfur-free compounds. The introduction of a sulfur atom does not necessarily result in a sulfur-like odor. In particular, the 2(5H)-thiophenone analogs gave waxy, oily, and lactone-like odors that are uncharacteristic of sulfur-containing compounds. In many synthesized analogs, the introduction of a sulfur atom led to an increase in odor intensity, as expected.

DAMASCENOLIDETM [1, 4-(4-methylpent-3-en-1-yl)furan-2(5H)-one], which has a citrus-like odor, is an important aroma component of roses. We have previously reported on the synthesis and odor evaluation of 24 analogs of 1 as part of our new aroma compound developing project. To accumulate more information on structure-odor relationships, 10 more promising analogs such as dimethylated and cyclopropanated analogs were synthesized and subjected to odor evaluation. As a result, it was found that dimethylation of the furanone ring affected the odor. It was also found that cyclopropanation of 1 affected the odor, whereas cyclopropanation of the double bond isomer of 1 did not significantly affect the odor. The effects on the odor caused by ring size expansion and replacement of the side chain were also investigated.

DAMASCENOLIDETM [1, 4-(4-methylpent-3-en-1-yl)furan-2(5H)-one], which has a citrus-like odor, is an important aroma component of roses. We have previously reported on the synthesis and odor evaluation of double-bond isomers of 1 and concluded that the position and the geometric isomerism of the double-bond had a significant effect on the odor. For the purpose of deepening knowledge about structure-odor relationships, we synthesized 13 analogs of compound 1 and evaluated their odors. As a result, it was found that the presence of two double-bonds and branched methyl group at the terminal position in the side chain was essential in order to have a citrus-like odor. Substitution of the side chain with appropriate length at the appropriate 4-position of the 2(5H)-furanone ring was also an important factor in determining the quality of the odor.

The flower scent of the damask rose ( Rosa damascena) was studied. Two ultratrace components exhibiting high flavor dilution factors were detected as odor-active compounds via aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA). One of these had a woody note and was identified as rotundone using multidimensional gas chromatography-mass spectrometry-olfactometry (MD-GC-MS-O), while the other had a citrus note and was identified as 4-(4-methylpent-3-en-1-yl)-2(5 H)-furanone (MPF) by fractionation of a commercial rose absolute from R. damascena. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study addressing the organoleptic importance of these two compounds in the rose scent. Sensory analysis was conducted to evaluate the effects of rotundone and MPF. Adding 50 µg/kg rotundone and 5 µg/kg MPF to the aroma reconstitute of R. damascena provided it with blooming and natural characteristics. Additionally, the existence of rotundone and MPF in five types of fragrant roses was investigated.

We have established an efficient synthetic methodology for the 13-oxyingenol natural derivative (13-oxyingenol-13-dodecanoate-20-hexanoate), featuring a ring-closing olefin metathesis reaction for the "direct" construction of a highly strained inside-outside framework and a Mislow-Evans-type [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement for the stereoselective introduction of the hydroxy group at C5. We also synthesized artificial analogs of 13-oxyingenol and ingenol by using our synthetic strategy. In vitro activation assays of protein kinase C (PKC) α and δ revealed that the dodecanoyl group at O13 on 13-oxyingenol analogs had a significant role in PKCδ activation. The PKCα- or PKCδ-activating 13-oxyingenol and ingenol analogs induced both distinct morphological changes and increases of CD11b expression in HL-60 cells, which would be typical signs of HL-60 cell differentiation to macrophage-like cells, as expected by previous reports. Intriguingly, however, similar differentiation phenotypes were observed with the use of 13-oxyingenol natural derivatives and 13-oxyingenol-13-dodecanoate showing a remarkably less potent PKCα or PKCδ activation ability, which the PKC inhibitor Gö6983 diminished. This indicated the involvement of other PKC isozymes or related kinase activities. 13-Oxyingenol analogs, which induced HL-60 cell differentiation, also induced HL-60 cell death, similar to the action of a phorbol ester, a strong PKC activator.

Ring functionalization: the total synthesis of a natural derivative of (-)-13-oxyingenol, a potent anti-HIV diterpenoid, is reported. The key steps in this synthesis include a ring-closing olefin metathesis and a Mislow-Evans-type [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement. This synthesis provides access to (-)-13-oxyingenol and its natural derivative in 21 steps from a synthetic intermediate previously prepared by Kigoshi and co-workers.
