Enantioselective preparation of 1,3-cyclohexadiene and 1,4-cycloheptadiene derivatives: Synthesis of (+)-dictyopterene C'

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/bcsj.67.1141

Starting from optically active 5-trimethylsilyl-2-cyclohexen-1-one derivatives, the title dienes were synthesized by using silicon-mediated 1,4-elimination as a key step. A straightforward synthesis of the unnatural enantiomer of (-)-dictyopterene C' util
