A synthesis of the abietane diterpenoid quinone (±)-royleanone via maleoylcobalt technology

, p. 3723 - 3726 (2007/10/02)
(±)-Royleanone has been synthesized by rapid construction of a highly substituted quinone using maleoylcobalt complex technology followed by acid induced cyclization of the corresponding hydroquinone methyl ether onto a tethered enone. The synthesis was completed by straightforward functional group manipulations.
The conversion of 7-acetoxyroyleanone to 14-methoxytaxodione
Faucher, Anne-Marie,Burnell, Robert H.
, p. 1 - 4 (2007/10/02)
7-Acetoxyroyleanone (1a) has been converted in five steps to the methoxy-p-quinone 9.Since the latter was the penultimate intermediate in Eugster's partial synthesis of 14-methoxytaxodione (2), the transformation reported represents a formal synthesis of the latter.Key words: 7-acetoxyroyleanone, 14-methoxytaxodione, synthesis.
