M. Tori et al., SYNTHESIS AND THE ABSOLUTE-CONFIGURATION OF THE SESQUITERPENE ALDEHYDE TRIDENSENAL FROM THE TAIWANESE LIVERWORT BAZZANIA TRIDENS, Journal of the Chemical Society. Perkin transactions. I, (12), 1995, pp. 1513-1517
The absolute configuration of the sesquiterpene aldehyde tridensenal i
solated from the Taiwanese liverwort Bazzania tridens has been determi
ned by a total synthesis of the optically active compound as well as i
ts diastereoisomer to have S,R configuration starting from (-)- and ()-menth-1-ene and (+)-pulegone,. respectively.
