The present invention relates to use of at least one compound of formula (I) as aroma ingredient. The compound of formula (I) is used to impart an aroma impression which is reminiscent of a sweet note, technical note, tobacco note, balsamic note, herbal note, fruity note, woody note, pine needle note, eucalyptus note, powdery note, or a combination of two or more notes to a composition and also enhancing and/or modifying the aroma of a composition. The present invention is further directed to a composition comprising compound of formula (I) and (i) at least one aroma chemical different from compound of formula (I) or (ii) at least one non-aroma chemical carrier, or (iii) both (i) and (ii).

The present disclosure provides the first asymmetric total synthesis and target identification of the curcusone natural products. The novel convergent synthesis is built upon a cheap and abundant chiral pool molecule (8) and features a thermal [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement and an FeCl3-promoted global hydrolysis/adol condensation cascade to rapidly construct the critical cycloheptadienone core. By performing chemoproteomics with the alkyne probe 37, we identified the previously undruggable oncogenic protein BRAT1 as a key cellular target of 1d. Furthermore, 1d inhibits BRAT1 in cancer cells, thereby reducing cancer cell migration, increasing susceptibility to DNA damage, and inducing chemosensitization to the approved drug etoposide. Compound 1d is the first known small-molecule inhibitor for BRAT1, a master regulator of the DDR and DNA repair. Composition matters and methods of uses are within the scope of this disclosure.
