Application

Hexanoyl chloride has been used in:
  • total synthesis of (±)-7-butyl-6,8-dihydroxy-3-pentyl-3,4-dihydroisochromen-1-one
  • asymmetric synthesis of 14-methyl-1-octadecene, the sex pheromone of the peach leafminer moth
  • preparation of hexanoyl-coated nanofibers dispersible in several organic solvents
  • total synthesis of natural isocarbostyril ruprechstyril (3-n-pentyl-6-methoxy-8-hydroxy-1(2H)-isoquinolinone), isolated from Ruprechtia tangarana
  • 5-chloro-8-hydroxy-6-methoxy-3-pentylisocoumarin, the 5-chloro analog of naturally occurring 7-chloro-8-hydroxy-6-methoxy-3-pentylisocoumarin, isolated from Tessmannia densiflora

An asymmetric synthesis of 14-methyl-1-octadecene, the sex pheromone of the peach leafminer moth has been achieved. The target molecule was synthesized in six linear steps and in 30.3% overall yield from commercially available hexanoyl chloride, (S)-4-benzyloxazolidin-2-one and 1,9-nonanediol. The hexanoyl

The synthesis of title isocoumarin, the 5-chloro analog of naturally occurring 7-chloro-8-hydroxy-6-methoxy-3-pentylisocoumarin, isolated from Tessmannia densiflora is described. Chlorination of ethyl 2-(2-ethoxy-2-oxoethyl)-4,6-dimethoxybenzoate (2) afforded 3-chloro ester (3) followed by hydrolysis to furnish the 2-(carboxymethyl)-3-chloro-4,6-dimethoxybenzoic acid (4) that was converted to

A short total synthesis of natural isocarbostyril ruprechstyril (3-n-pentyl-6-methoxy-8-hydroxy-1(2H)-isoquinolinone) isolated from Ruprechtia tangarana is reported. 6,8-Dimethoxy-3-pentylisocoumarin obtained by condensation of 3,5-dimethoxyhomophthalic anhydride with hexanoyl chloride was smoothly converted to O-methylruprechstyril by refluxing with methanamide. Regioselective demethylation of the latter using
