The present invention generally relates to the synthesis of chirally enriched 2,4-disubstituted tetrahydropyran-4-ol and its derivatives, using chiral organocatalyst.
It is generally known that the Prins cyclization1 of an aldehyde and a homoallylic alcohol provides a powerful access to tetrahydropyran-4-ols. Enantiomers/diastereomers of 2,4-disubstituted-tetrahydropyran-4-ol (a type of tetrahydropyran-4-ol) and its derivatives display different intensity of odor. Further, according to the prior art, the synthesis of enantiomers of 2,4-disubstituted-tetrahydropyran-4-ol and its derivatives require 5-7 synthetic steps.2
Numerous protonic acids and Lewis acids are known to catalyze Prins cyclization and excellent reviews have been published on the earlier work.3, 4
However, the reactions as described in the prior publication at 2 above discloses a multi-step process for synthesis of chiral 2,4-disubstituted-tetrahydropyran-4-ol and its acetate derivative and hence results in a low yield of the final product. Also, the use of a chiral organocatalyst is not taught anywhere. On the contrary, they teach use of a biocatalyst during the reaction process which is more expensive and hence makes the process commercially unviable.
The objective of the present invention is to provide a single step process for the synthesis of chirally enriched 2,4-disubstituted tetrahydropyran-4-ol and its derivatives, by the use of an organocatalyst which is less expensive, making the entire process commercially viable.
Another objective of this invention is to find a process for the synthesis of chirally enriched 2,4-disubstituted tetrahydropyran-4-ol and its derivatives that can lead to a finished product that is already enantiomerically and/or diasteriomerically pure or at least substantially enriched in the desired chiral molecules.
Yet another object of the present invention is the synthesis of chiral molecules of general formula (I) and/or its isomers which exhibit fresh, soft, sweet and natural floral odor reminiscent of muguet with some rose oxide side note and earthy nuances that resembles natural odors.
Yet another object of the present invention is to synthesize chirally enriched compounds which exhibit increased bioactivity intensity which results in a corresponding increase in persistence of the aroma given off by the perfumery composition and therefore facilitates the said perfumery composition to have a decreased concentration of the odorant that provides a longer lasting aroma as compared to conventional perfumery composition. Therefore, the safety for human use is increased.
The present invention eliminates or substantially alleviates the disadvantages and shortcomings in the prior art methods.
Typically, the present invention teaches “A process for synthesis of chiral 2,4-disubstituted-tetrahydropyran-4-ol and its derivatives having a general formal (I)
comprising of asymmetric reaction of an aliphatic aldehyde and a homoallylic alcohol in the presence of a chiral organocatalyst.”

Typically, the said chiral organocatalyst is 1-(R)-camphor-sulphonic acid or 1-(S)-camphor-sulphonic acid.
Typically, a fragrance composition containing chirally enriched molecules of the said general formula (I) prepared by the process described above which comprises at least one perfume and/or at least one cologne and/or at least one eau du toilette and/or at least one eau du parfum and/or at least one cosmetic and/or at least one personal care product and/or at least one cleansing product and/or at least one fabric softener and/or at least one air freshener.
Typically, a cosmetic composition containing an olfactory acceptable amount of chirally enriched molecules of the said general formula (I) prepared by the process as described above.

There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, certain embodiments of the invention in order that the detailed description thereof may be better understood herein, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are, of course, additional embodiments of the invention that will be described below and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
In this respect, before explaining at least one embodiment of the invention in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in their application to the details of construction and to the arrangements of the components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the drawings. The invention is capable of embodiments in addition to those described and of being practiced and carried out in various ways. Also, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein, as well as the abstract, are for the purpose of description and should not be regarded as limiting the invention.
As such, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the conception upon which this disclosure is based may readily be utilized as a basis for the designing of other structures, methods and systems for carrying out the several purposes of the present invention. It is important, therefore, that the claims be regarded as including such equivalent constructions in so far as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
FIGS. 3, 4, and 5 show examples of chiral 2,4-disubstituted tetrahydropyrans of types A, B, and C respectively shown in FIG. 2.
It is an advantage of one or more of the embodiments of the present invention that the chirally enriched compounds of present invention exhibit increased bioactivity as compared to the racemic molecules obtained by conventional synthesis.
Due to this increased bioactivity, less amount of enantiomerically enriched compounds of general formula (I) and/or its isomers is required in perfumery or agrochemical compositions thereof.
In addition, this increased bioactivity intensity results in a corresponding increase in persistence of the aroma given off by the perfumery compositions and therefore facilitates the said perfumery compositions to have a decreased concentration of the odorant that provides a longer lasting aroma as compared to conventional perfumery compositions. Therefore, the safety for human use is increased.
In Figures titled SCHEME 1 to 8 below are shown compounds of general formula (I) and/or its isomers obtained by a reaction of a homoallylic alcohol derivative (2) with an aldehyde (3a-c) in the presence of chiral organocatalyst such as (+)-camphor sulphonic acid or (−)-camphor sulphonic acid (1, CSA) wherein:

It is an advantage of one or more of the embodiments of the present invention that the chirally enriched 2,4-disubstituted tetrahydropyran-4-ol and its derivatives synthesized by the process claimed in the present invention exhibit increased bioactivity as compared to the racemic molecules obtained by conventional synthesis.
Due to the said increased bioactivity, the fewer amounts of an chirally enriched compound of general formula (I) and/or its isomers is required in perfumery or agrochemical compositions thereof.
The said increased bioactivity intensity results in a corresponding increase in persistence of the aroma given off by the perfumery compositions and therefore facilitates perfumery compositions having a decreased concentration of the odorant which in turn provides a long lasting aroma as compared to conventional perfumery compositions. Therefore, the safety for human use is increased.
Many features and advantages of the present invention are apparent from the detailed specification, and thus, it is intended by the appended claims to cover all such features and advantages of the invention which fall within the true spirit and scope of the invention. Further, since numerous modifications and variations will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation illustrated and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention.
