A. Srikrishna et al., A METHODOLOGY FOR SPIROCYCLOPENTANNULATION - STEREOSELECTIVE TOTAL SYNTHESIS OF (+ -)-TOCHUINYL ACETATE AND (+/-)-DIHYDROTOCHUINYL ACETATE/, Synlett, (1), 1996, pp. 67
A methodology based on Claisen rearrangement and Wacker oxidation for
the spirocyclopentannulation of ketones, and its application to a high
ly stereoselective first total synthesis of dihydrotochuinyl acetate (
(8) under bar) is described.
