Application

3-Methyl-2-cyclohexenone is an insect sex pheromone of the Douglas-fir beetle. It can be used as a starting material:
  • In the total synthesis of (−)-ar-tenuifolene, a naturally occurring aromatic sesquiterpene.
  • To synthesize an organic building block 2-trimethylsilyl-3-methyl-cyclohexenone.
  • In the total synthesis of natural diterpenoids (+)-taiwaniaquinone H and (+)-dichroanone.

(4R,6R)-Actinol can be stereo-selectively synthesized from ketoisophorone by a two-step conversion using a mixture of two enzymes: Candida macedoniensis old yellow enzyme (CmOYE) and Corynebacterium aquaticum (6R)-levodione reductase. However, (4S)-phorenol, an intermediate, accumulates because of the limited substrate range of
