Rs. Ward et al., REARRANGEMENTS OF THE 2,6-DIARYL-3,7-DIOXABICYCLO[3.3.0]OCTANE SKELETON .3. REACTION OF GMELINOL WITH BF3-ETHERATE AND N,N-DIMETHYLANILINE, Tetrahedron, 52(45), 1996, pp. 14349-14360
Reaction of gmelinol 1 with BF3-etherate and N,N-dimethylaniline gave
a product 9 formed by rearrangement of the 2,6-diaryl-3,7-dioxabicyclo
[3.3.0]octane skeleton. Compound 9 on reduction with BF3-etherate and
triethylsilane produced 15 which is epimeric with di-O-methyl cyclooli
vil 18. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd
