The chemistry of hop constituents. Part XL. Structure of a five-membered-ring oxidation product of colupulone
Abstract
Oxygen acts on colupulone in petroleum at 60° to give 5-hydroxy-5-isobutyryl-3,3-bis-(3-methylbut-2-enyl)-cyclopentane-1,2,4-trione, which we find present in old hops. Cohulupone is evidently an intermediate, but the new product appears not to be an intermediate in the oxidation of cohulupone to hulupinic acid.
