Synthetic strategy based on a stereoselective iodoetherification reaction of a carvone-derived hydroxyalkene unit has been developed for the asymmetric synthesis of the key spiro-tetrahydrofuran subunit common to some naturally occurring terpenoids. Copyright Taylor & Francis, Inc.
A new carvone based construction of the ring-A of taxoids
Mehta, Goverdhan,Chattopadhyay, Shital K.,Umarye, Jayant D.
, p. 4881 - 4884 (2007/10/03)
A synthesis of the fully functionalized A-ring of taxoids from the commercially available monoterpenic chiron R-carvone is outlined. In this approach, regio- and stereoselective restructuring of alkyl substituents and functionalities is effected on the periphery while retaining the six membered core of carvone.
Lithium naphthalenide induced reductive cleavage of α,β-epoxy ketones: An efficient procedure for the preparation of β-hydroxy ketones
Jankowska, Renata,Mhehe, George L.,Liu, Hsing-Jang
, p. 1581 - 1582 (2007/10/03)
Lithium naphthalenide presents itself as a mild and efficient reagent for the cleavage of α,β-epoxy ketones to give the corresponding β-hydroxy ketones in good yields.
Stereochemistry of the Reductive Alkylation of α,β-Epoxy Ketones
McChesney, James D.,Thompson, Thomas N.
, p. 3473 - 3481 (2007/10/02)
α-Epoxy ketones have been found to be useful intermediates for regiospecific alkylation of ketones.We have examined the steric course of the alkylation and shown it to be highly stereoselective.
