, p. 6529 - 6534 (2007)
A total synthesis of racemic smenochromene B has been achieved. The synthesis proceeds through an unusual rearrangement of smenochromene D with concomitant ring contraction and double bond isomerization.
Concise synthesis of (±)-smenochromene D (= likonide B)
Olson, Brooke S.,Trauner, Dirk
, p. 700 - 702 (2007/10/03)
The total synthesis of smenochromene D, an unusual ansa-terpenoid is described. The synthesis features an unprecedented macrocyclization proceeding through a biomimetic electrocyclization. The enantiomeric relationship between smenochromene D and likonide
