Synthesis and Absolute Configuration of (-)-Furodysinin. New Transformations of Camphor Derivatives

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo00281a002

The synthesis of (-)-furodysinin ((-)-3a) has been accomplished in five steps from (+)-?--bromocamphor (7) and has allowed assignment of the absolute configuration of a number of marine furanosesquiterpenes produced by sponges of the genus Dysidea.
