DDQ dehydrogenation of friedelin (I) affords friedel-1-ene-3-one (III) in a very low yield (9percent).Treatment of 2α-bromofriedel-3-one (IV) with LiBr and Li2CO3 furnishes (III) (20percent) along with I (15percent).Reaction of IV with AgOAc and glacial HOAc leads to the formation of 3-hydroxyfriedel-3-ene-2-one (V) (66percent).Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of I with p-nitroperbenzoic acid produces the ε-lactone (IX) (41percent) while NiO2 oxidation of cerin (II) affords (V) (20percent) and 3α-hydroxyfriedel-2-one (VI) (15percent).The mechanism of these reactions are discussed.
