Difunctional allylic terpenes are important synthetic building blocks. Functionalisation of protected geranyl derivatives by SeO2 provides a convenient route to such compounds. The effect of the geranyl protecting group on the oxidation of the

A stereospecific synthesis of the basic crassin acetate nucleus, erythro-1-(hydroxymethyl)-14-hydroxy-4,8,12-trimethylcyclotetradeca-(E,E,E)-3,7,11-triene, has been achieved.Stereospecific syntheses of the two precursors to this ring system, (E,E)-3,7-dimethyl-9-(phenylthio)nona-3,7-dienal and (E)-2,8-bis(trimethylsiloxy)-2,7-dimethyloct-6-en-3-one, have been developed.These moieties were combined via an aldol condensation to yield erythro-9-hydroxy-10--1-(phenylthio)-14-(trimethylsiloxy)-3,7,13-trimethyltetradeca-(E,E,E)-2,6,12-triene which, in a series of reactions, was cyclized to the titled 14-membered ring system.
