Total Synthesis of Furanoeremophilane and 14-Norfuranoeudesmane Derivatives by a Route Involving Alkylation of 2,4-Dimethyl-3-furoic Acid

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/bcsj.53.2966

(+/-)-14-Norfuranoeudesmane-4,6-dione, (+/-)-furanoeremophilane-3,6-dione, and (+/-)-furanoeremophilan-14,6α-olide were synthesized by a route involving alkylation of a dianion obtained from 2,4-dimethyl-3-furoic acid.
