A Short-Step Synthetic Approach to Eudesmane Skeleton. A Synthesis of (+/-)-β-Eudesmol and Related Eudesman Sesquiterpenes

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/bcsj.61.3770

The formal total syntheses of (+/-)-β-eudesmol and its related sesquiterpenes such as cryptomeridiol and neointermediol were accomplished by an efficient method using aldol cyclization as the key step starting from the known 3-vinyl-2-cyclohexen-1-one.
