The stereochemistries of the title compounds, both C16H24Cl2O, have been established by X-ray diffraction. In both structures, the seven-membered ring adopts the same conformation, whereas the six-membered ring shows an envelope conformation in the epoxydodecane structure and a boat conformation in the dodecan-9-one structure.

For the synthesis of compound (II), potassium tert-butylate (4 g, 35 mmol) was added to a solution of β-himachalene, (I) (2 g, 9.7 mmole), in
hexane (60 ml) at 273 K. The mixture was stirred for 10 min and then a
stoichiometric quantity of CHCl3 was added dropwise over 30 min. The
reaction mixture was stirred for 8 h. After hydrolysis with water (20 ml), the
organic phase was extracted with ether, washed with water, dried and
concentrated. Chromatography of the residue obtained on silica gel gave (II)
in a yield of 50%. For the epoxidation of (II), to a 100 ml flask containing
(II) (500 mg, 1.74 mmol) solubilized in CH2Cl2 (30 ml), a stochiometric
quantity of m-chloroperbenzoic acid (m-CPBA) was added. The
reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 2 h, then treated with
a 10% solution of sodium dihydrogenocarbonate. The aqueous phase was extracted
with ether, and the organic phases were dried and concentrated. Silica-gel
chromatography of the reaction mixture residue allowed isolation of epoxides
(III) and (IV) in a pure state (m.p. 409–410 K). Crystallization was carried
out at room temperature from a hexane solution. To obtain compound (V),
BF3—Et2O (0.2 ml) was added dropwise to a solution of (IV) (200 mg, 0.66 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (20 ml) at 195 K under N2. The reaction mixture was
stirred for 90 min at a constant temperature of 195 K and then left at ambient
temperature for 24 h. Water (20 ml) was then added in order to separate the
two phases, and the organic phase was dried and concentrated. Silica-gel
chromatography of the reaction mixture product gave (V) in a yield of 60%
(m.p. 362–363 K). Crystallization was carried out at room temperature from a
hexane solution.
Friedel pairs were merged prior to refinement. H atoms were placed geometrically
and treated as riding, with C—H = 0.96 Å. Is this added text OK?

Special details top
Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes)
are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken
into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles
and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only
used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic)
treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s.
planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor
wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional
R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for
negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 >
σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc.
and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement.
R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large
as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be
even larger. |

Special details top
Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes)
are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken
into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles
and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only
used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic)
treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s.
planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor
wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional
R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for
negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 >
σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc.
and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement.
R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large
as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be
even larger. |

With the aim of developing the Moroccan floral inheritance, in particular plants which contain essential oils, we have directed our research endeavours towards the oil of the Atlas cedar (Cedrus atlantica), the main constituent of which is β-himachalene, (I) (Plattier & Teisseire, 1974). The reactivity of this sesquiterpene has been extensively studied by our group (Benharref et al., 1991; Chekroun et al., 2000; El Jamili et al., 2001; Auhmani et al., 2002) in order to prepare new products having olfactive properties suitable for the perfume or cosmetics industry.
The action of dichlorocarbene on (I) leads to (1S,3R,8S)-2,2-dichloro-3,7,7,10-tetramethyltricyclo[6.4.0.01,3]dodec-9-ene, (II), the structure of which was determined by Auhmani et al. (1999). The treatment of (II) by m-chloroperbenzoic acid (m-CPBA) gives a mixture of two epoxides, the first title compound (1S,3R,8S,9S,10R)-2,2-dichloro-3,7,7,10-tetramethyltricyclo[6.4.0.01,3]- 9,10-epoxydodecane, (III), and (IV), with a yield of 80% in the ratio 30:70. The 1H and 13C NMR spectra of (III) and (IV) are almost similar and this prevents the determination of their structures. In the presence of BF3—Et2O, compound (IV) rearranges to the second title compound, (1S,3R,8S,10R)-2,2-dichloro-3,7,7,10-tetramethyltricyclo[6.4.0.01,3]dodec- 9-one, (V), in a moderate yield of 60%. A spectroscopic analysis by NMR with high mono- and bidimensional resolution confirmed the rearrangement of the epoxide into a ketone. \sch
The absolute structure of the himachalene core has been investigated previously (Joseph & Dev, 1968; Chiaroni et al., 1996). The structure determination of compounds (III) and (V) (Figs. 1 and 2, respectively) now allows us to assign the stereochemistry of the cyclopropane bridges in positions 6 and 7 for compounds (III), (IV) and (V), and of the epoxides for compounds (III) and (IV). The following configurations have been found: RSRSR and RRSSR for atoms C1/C2/C3/C6/C7 in (III) and (IV), respectively, and RRSR for atoms C1/C3/C6/C7 in (V).
The bond lengths and angles in (III) and (V) (Tables 1 and 2) are similar to those found in related molecules (Lassaba et al., 1997; Auhmani et al., 2000), except for the C1—C11 bond which is, in both cases, rather long, being 1.572 (4) Å in (III) and 1.590 (5) Å in (V). The core of the molecule consists of a six- and seven-membered fused ring system. In both structures, the seven-membered ring adopts the same conformation composed of three relatively planar fragments, namely C1/C6/C7/C8 (plane 1), C1/C8/C9/C11 (plane 2) and C9/C10/C11 (plane 3). The dihedral angle between planes 1 and 2 is 60.8 (3)° in (III) and 57.9 (3)° in (V), while that between planes 2 and 3 is 50.0 (3)° in (III) and 52.4 (3)° in (V). The six-membered ring adopts an envelope conformation in (III) [atom C6 is 0.619 (3) Å from the C1—C6 plane] but a boat conformation in (V) [atom C1 is 0.522 (4) Å and atom C4 is -0.667 (5) Å from the C2/C3/C5/C6 plane]. The cyclopropane bridge shares a common atom, C6, with the two rings of the molecule and, in the case of (III), is in a cis conformation with respect to the epoxide.
