Intramolecular Photocycloadditions-Cyclobutane Fragmentation: Total Synthesis of (+/-)-Pentalenene, (+/-)-Pentalenic Acid, and (+/-)-Deoxypentalenic Acid
Crimmins, Michael T.,DeLoach, Joe A.
, p. 800 - 806 (1986)
Pentalenene, pentalenic acid, and deoxypentalenic acid, important metabolites in the biosynthesis of the pentalenolactones, have been synthesized from methyl isobutyrate through a common intermediate.The initial key stp involves a novel conjugate addition
Intramolecular Photocycloaddition-Cyclobutane Fragmentation: A Highly Stereoselective Total Synthesis of (+/-)-Pentalenic Acid
Crimmins, Michael T.,DeLoach, Joe A.
, p. 2076 - 2077 (2007/10/02)
An efficient total synthesis of pentalenic acid has been accomplished by utilizing an intramolecular photocycloaddition-cyclobutane fragmentation as the key reaction sequence.
