G. Mehta et Ks. Reddy, A FACILE OXY-COPE REARRANGEMENT ROUTE TO FUNCTIONALIZED BICYCLO[5.3.1]UNDECANE RING-SYSTEM PRESENT IN TAXOL AND VINIGROL DITERPENOIDS, Synlett, (7), 1996, pp. 625
An oxy-Cope rearrangement based protocol to bicyclo[5.3.1]undecane rin
g system from a readily and abundantly available bicyclo[4.4.0]decane
precursor is described. Several interesting transformations leading to
the formation of tricyclo[6.2.1.0(4,11)]undecane system among others
are also reported.
