Simple Synthesis of Climacostol, a Defensive Secretion by the Ciliate Climacostomum virens

Article abstract of DOI:10.1271/bbb.65.2110

Climacostol {1,3-dihydroxy-5-[(Z)-2′-nonenyl] benzene, 1}, a defensive secretion by the protozoan ciliate Climacostomum virens against predators, was synthesized in a 43% overall yield in three steps by starting from methyl 1,3-bis(tert-butyldimethylsilyl
