, p. 947 - 948 (1995)
A synthesis of furodysin from trans-limonene oxide involves transformation into the phenylcarbamate of 2,8-menthadien-1-ol, allylic displacement with lithium di(β-furylmethyl)cuprate, and cyclization.
Synthesis and Absolute Configuration of the Antiparasitic Furanosesquiterpenes (-)-Furodysin and (-)-Furodysinin. Camphor as a Six-Membered Ring Chiral Pool Template

The syntheses of (-)-furodysin ((-2)-2a) and (-)-furodysinin ((-)-3a) in four steps starting from (+)-9-bromocamphor (18) has been accomplished, thus establishing the absolute configuration of these and related metabolites.This was made possible by the unexpected exo selectivity in the aldol condensation of camphor-like enolates with aldehydes.This has been found to be a general phenomenon in the camphor system.Further, anionic fragmentation of the C1-C7 bond of camphor derivatives has allowed access to synthetic intermediates containing functionalized six-memberedrings, thus opening up avenues from camphor to a new class of chiral pool elements not currently available from chiral pool substances.
