Synthetic Studies on Wedeligenin: Preparation of 3-Hydroxy-Substituted Decalincarbonitriles as a Model for 'A Ring' Annulation

Article abstract of DOI:10.1071/CH9901309

Six new 3-hydroxydecalincarbonitriles were synthesized by employing an annulation strategy involving intramolecular alkylation of 5-bromoalkyl substituted malononitriles or acetonitriles. 2-Allyl-2-methylcyclohexanone was condensed with malononitrile to g
