Abstract: An optically active 4-(4-substituted-2,6-dihydroxyphenyl)-6,6-dimethyl-2-norpinanone is reacted with a protonic acid to provide an optical isomer of a cis-1-hydroxy-3-substituted-6,6-dimethyl-6,6a,7,8,10,10a-hexahydro-9H-dibe nzo[b,d]pyran-9-one. Reaction of said norpinanone with a Lewis acid provides an optical isomer of trans-1-hydroxy-3-substituted-6,6-dimethyl-6,6a,7,8,10,10a-hexahydro-9H-di benzo[b,d]pyran-9-one. The optically active norpinanones are prepared by reaction of a 5-substituted-resorcinol with an optically active 6,6-dimethyl-2,4-diacetoxy-2-norpinene or an optically active 6,6-dimethyl-2,2-diacetoxy-3-norpinene, which compounds are derived from optically active .beta.-pinenes.
Abstract: There are provided insecticidal ketones having the general structure ##STR1## insecticidal compositions containing the ketones and a carrier, and the method of controlling insects with the ketones.
Abstract: A multi-step, stereospecific total synthesis of steroids is disclosed. The starting materials for this process are the relatively inexpensive and readily available m-alkoxy acetophenones. The process is suitable for the preparation of racemic or optically active, medicinally valuable steroids, particularly A-ring aromatic steroids. This process features an early optical resolution and a unique asymmetric induction which insures the correct stereochemistry of the final steroidal product.
