SYNTHESIS OF FUSICOCCA-2,8,10-TRIENE, A BIOGENETIC MISSING LINK, STARTING FROM STEREOSPECIFIC CONDENSATION OF TWO IRIDOID SYNTHONS

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1984.1495

From two units of iridoid C₁₀-synthons which could be prepared from one of the photoadducts of isoprene and methyl 2,4-dioxopentanoate, the hydrocarbon which can be designated as fusicocca-2,8-10-triene, a missing link in the biogenesis, was st
