| Description | Patchouli alcohol, also known as patchoulol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as tertiary alcohols. Tertiary alcohols are compounds in which a hydroxy group, -OH, is attached to a saturated carbon atom R3COH (R not H ). Patchoulol is also used in the synthesis of the chemotherapy drug Taxol. 2. The discrepancy had resulted from an unanticipated skeletal rearrangement that had occurred in the Büchi synthesis when patchoulene was treated with peroxy acid, an operation that by accident generated the correct architecture of the natural product. The (−)-optical isomer is one of the organic compounds responsible for the typical patchouli scent. Patchouli alcohol is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Patchouli oil is an important material in perfumery. After several years of careful study Büchi and co-workers proposed the structure of patchouli alcohol to correspond to 1, based on degradation studies from his earlier work, verified later by synthesis of material which corresponded to the natural authentic sample of patchouli alcohol. They had undertaken an X-ray analysis of the patchouli alcohol diester of chromic acid, with the objective of determining the Cr-O-C angles. A serendipitous finding by Dunitz and co-workers revealed a contradictory structure. During early structural investigation the presence of a saturated tricyclic tertiary alcohol was established. Patchoulol or patchouli alcohol (C15H26O) is a sesquiterpene alcohol found in patchouli. 1. Instead they proposed together with Büchi the novel structure. Patchouli alcohol was first isolated in 1869 by Gal and its chemical composition later correctly formulated as C15H26O by Montgolfier. 2,2,6,8-tetramethyltricyclo[5.3.1.0³,⁸]undecan-3-ol is found in Nardostachys jatamansi, Pogostemon cablin and Valeriana fauriei. Contains embedded [2.2.2]Propellane motif. |
