The chlorodienes (E)-4-chloro-3-methyl-1,3-hexadiene (5a), (E)- and (Z)-4-chloro-2,3-dimethyl-1,3-hexadiene (5b/6b), (E,E)-5-chloro-4-methyl-2,4-heptadiene (5c), (4E)- and (4Z)-5-chloro-3,4-dimethyl-2,4-heptadiene (5d/6d), chloroprene (11a), and 2-chloro-3-methyl-1,3-butadiene (11b) are selectively ozonized at the non-chlorinated double bonds to give the corresponding monoozonides 7, 8, and 12. Further ozonolyses of the monoozonides of 5b and of 11b in methanol as well as epoxidation of the monoozonide of 5b and subsequent reaction of the resulting chloroepoxide with AgBF4 are described.

ABSTRACT Geranylgeranyl reductase from Sulfolobus acidocaldarius was shown to catalyze the reduction of geranylgeranyl groups in the precursors of archaeal membrane lipids, generally reducing all four double bonds. However, when geranylgeranyl diphosphate was subjected to the reductase reaction, only three of the four double bonds were reduced. Mass spectrometry and acid hydrolysis indicated that the allylic double bond was preserved in the partially reduced product derived from geranylgeranyl diphosphate. Thus, the reaction product was shown to be phytyl diphosphate, which is a substrate for archaeal prenyltransferases, unlike the completely reduced compound phytanyl diphosphate.

Diozonolyses in methanol of (E)-4-chloro-2,3-dimethyl-1,3-hexadiene (4a) and of (4E)-5-chloro-3,4-dimethyl-2,4-heptadiene (4b) resulted in complete cleavage of the double bonds and of the single bonds of the respective diene systems. The course of these anomalous cleavage reactions has been established by step-wise ozonolyses of these dienes, and by the identification of labile methoxy hydroperoxides as intermediates.
