Abstract
5‐Isopropyl‐2‐propyl‐2‐cyclohexen‐1‐one (1) and 5‐isopropyl‐2‐(2‐methylpropyl)‐2‐cyclohexen‐1‐one (2), homologues of the p‐methene ketone carvotanacetone, have been identified in the oil of Anthemis nobilis. Their synthesis involved allylation of a cyclohexane‐1,3‐dione, and the acid‐catalyzed cyclization to dihydrofurans of the 2‐allylcyclohexane‐1,3‐diones is described. The stereochemistry of metal hydride reduction of 3‐ethoxy‐5‐isopropyl‐2‐propyl‐2‐cyclohexen‐1‐one (18) is mentioned in the course of the synthesis of the natural products. Some biogenetic considerations are discussed.
