Abstract

(–)-Isopulegol undergoes Prins cyclization reaction in the presence of 20 wt% of acid-treated montmorillonite K10 to produce octahydro-2H-chromen-4-ols in good yields and with high cis selectivities under solvent-free conditions. The solid-acid catalyst can be reused without loss of its activity.

Key words

(–)-isopulegol - Prins cyclization - H-K10 mont - octahydro-2H-chromen-4-ols - reusability

  • 13 Experimental Procedure and Analytical Data Preparation of the Catalyst H-K10 Mont A slurry of commercially available montmorrilonite K10 (5 gm) in 1 M HCl (100 mL) was stirred vigorously at 80 °C for 6 h. The solid was filtered out and washed several times with deionized H2O to remove Cl– completely. The solid residue was then dried at 120 °C for 12 h to afford the catalyst. General Procedure for the Synthesis of Octahydro-2H-chromen-4-ol Derivatives A mixture of (–)-isopulegol (1, 1 mmol), an aldehyde 2 (1.2 mmol), and H-K10 mont [20% (wt/wt of 1] were irradiated in a closed vessel in the absence of any solvent in a Synthos 3000 microwave reactor at 360 W for 3 min. After 3 min of reaction time EtOAc was added to the crude reaction mixture, and the mixture was filtered. The residue was further washed with EtOAc to completely remove any product. The EtOAc layer was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel using EtOAc–hexane (3:7) as the eluent to furnish pure the chromenol derivatives 3 and 4. The solid acid catalyst was dried under vacuum and kept in oven at 100 °C before its use for another cycle. The sturctures of the compounds 3a, 4a, 3c, 4c, 3e, 4e, 3f, 4f, 3h, 4h, 3r, 4r, 3s, and 4s were confirmed by comparison of their analytical data with those reported in the literature.7 The analytical data of all new compounds are given in the Supporting Information.
