Preparation and Odour Properties of (S)-3-Mercapto-1-Heptyl Acetate

Abstract: Synthesis of (S )-3-mercapto-1-heptyl acetate was achieved in four steps. Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation of (E )-2-heptenol yielded (2R,3R )-2,3-epoxy-1-heptanol, which was treated with thiourea in the presence of Ti(OPr i ) 4 to give (2S,3S )-2,3-epithio-1-heptanol, reduction of which followed by acetylation afforded (S )-3-mercapto-1-heptyl acetate in 91% ee. The optically active product possessed a tropical fruit aroma reminiscent of mango and passion fruit, with berry, ester-like, sweet, and pepper-like … Show more

“…1,2-Epoxy-4-heptanol was converted to 1,2-epithio-4-heptanol by treatment with thiourea in the presence of Ti(OPr i ) 4 according to the procedure in our previous work. 13 1,2-Epithio-4-heptanol was obtained in 80% yield as a mixture of two diastereoisomers with a ratio of 56/44, which was also determined by GC and confirmed by 1 H and 13 C NMR spectral data (Table 1). Obviously the conversion was stereospecific and the ratio of the two diastereoisomers of episulfide was in line with that of the epoxide.…”
