Four cyclopentanoid monoterpenes were isolated from Teucrium marum; they are the two [(A) and (B)] C2-epimers of a-(2-formyl-3-methylcyclopentyl)acrylaldehyde and two new [(C) and (D)] isomeric unsaturated lactones. Structures were established by spectral (u.v., i.r., N.M.R., m.s.) evidence and chemical transformations.

The first total synthesis of the spirosesquiterpene (−)-acorenone (1) is described. The critical step involves a spiroannelation of the enamine of aldehyde 11 with 1-methoxy-3-buten-2-one (16) in the presence of acetic acid to give ketone 17. Reaction of 17 with methylmagnesium iodide followed by treatment of the resultant alcohol 18 with p-toluenesulfonic acid in refluxing benzene leads directly to 1 in good overall yield. As the starting material for the preparation of the cyclopentanoid aldehyde 11 was (+)-limonene the final product is optically active and thus the absolute configuration of naturally occurring (−)-acorenone (1) is established. The preparation of a number of other optically active cyclopentanoid monoterpenes (4 and 13) is also described.
