, p. 97 - 98 (2007/10/02)
Ambraketal 7 and epiambraketal 8 are synthesized efficiently from sclareol 1. The key intermediate 5 is obtained by a regioselective elimination of ketoacetate 4 resulting from the side chain oxidative degradation of 1 by ruthenium tetroxide generated in situ.

New processes have been developed which allow the stereoselective syntheses of the ambergris ketals 8α,13;13,17-diepoxi-14,15-dinorlabdane 1 and 8β,13;13,17-diepoxi-14,15-dinorlabdane 2, through selection of the appropriate catalyst for the δ,ε-epoxycarbonyl rearrangement of the key intermediate 3, which is, in turn, obtained by controlled oxidation of anticopalic acid 6.

A protection-deprotection sequence is used in order to control the formation of the exocyclic double bond of compound 10 which is further used for the synthesis of the title compounds.
