General description

Cyclopentanone is a cyclic ketone that occurs in allium species, beef, cheese, and chicken. It is generally used as a fragrance ingredient in fragrances and in non-cosmetic products.

Application


  • High-oxygen-modified atmospheric packaging delays flavor and quality deterioration in fresh-cut broccoli.: This research investigates the impact of high-oxygen-modified atmospheric packaging on the preservation of fresh-cut broccoli. Cyclopentanone is identified as a significant compound in the aroma profile, contributing to the understanding of packaging technologies that maintain food quality and extend shelf life. (He et al., 2024).

  • Selective production of methylindan and tetralin with xylose or hemicellulose.: The study focuses on the selective production of methylindan and tetralin using xylose or hemicellulose, with Cyclopentanone playing a key role in the catalytic processes. This research provides insights into sustainable chemical production from biomass-derived feedstocks. (Zou et al., 2024).

  • Synthesis of Hydroxylamine via Ketone-Mediated Nitrate Electroreduction.: This paper presents a novel method for synthesizing hydroxylamine through ketone-mediated nitrate electroreduction, utilizing Cyclopentanone. The findings demonstrate the versatility of Cyclopentanone in electrochemical synthesis and its potential for green chemistry applications. (Jia et al., 2024).

The first total synthesis of (-)-lannotinidine B, a unique tetracyclic constitutent of Lycopodium annotinum, has been accomplished in 10 steps with 23% overall yield. The completed short and efficient synthesis is characterized with three highly chemo- and/or stereoselective reductive-amination steps

To turn side products into major products, a novel strategy to access biologically active 4-aminocyclopent-2-enones was developed. These compounds were originally identified as side products but became major products when 3,5-dimethylpyran-3,4-diol 7a was used as the substrate and 30% InBr(3)

This article describes synthetic studies that culminated in the first total synthesis of pactamycin and pactamycate and, in parallel, the two known congeners, de-6-MSA-pactamycin and de-6-MSA-pactamycate, lacking the 6-methylsalicylyl moiety. Starting with L-threonine as a chiron, a series of stereocontrolled

Divergent reactivity is uncovered in the homologation of arylcyclobutanones with trimethylsilyldiazomethane. With Sc(OTf)(3) as catalyst, enolsilanes are obtained with a high preference for methylene migration. By contrast, Sc(hfac)(3) gives beta-ketosilanes with both regio- and diastereocontrol. Each adduct affords the cyclopentanone
