, p. 3860 - 3866 (2007/10/02)
A new route to the cembranoid carbon skeleton has been devised.Accordingly, the 17-membered ether 15 underwent facile Wittig rearrangement to the 1R*, 2R* 14-membered carbocycle 16 upon treatment with n-BuLi in THF-hexanes at -78 deg C.In THF-HMPA t
Wittig Ring Contraction. A New Route to Cembranoid Natural Products
Marshall, James A.,Jenson, Todd M.,DeHoff, Bradley S.
, p. 4316 - 4319 (2007/10/02)
A new route to the cembranoid skeleton is described wherein a 17-membered propargyl allyl ether is subjected to Wittig rearrangement to afford a 14-membered carbocyclic with substituents appropriate for elaboration to cembrane natural products.
