Agm. Barrett et al., APPROACHES TO THE ASSEMBLY OF THE ANTIFUNGAL AGENT FR-900848 - DETERMINATION OF THE GEOMETRY OF THE DICYCLOPROPYLETHENE UNIT AND AN X-RAY CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC STUDY OF ,2-BIS[(1S,2S)-2-METHYLCYCLOPROPYL]-1,2-ETHANEDIYL 3,5-DINITROBENZOATE, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (6), 1995, pp. 649-650
Whitham elimination is used to prepare (Z)-1,2-bis[(1S,2S)-2-methylcyc
lopropyl]ethene, which along with the corresponding E-alkene, is used
as a structural model to determine that the geometry of the dicyclopro
pylethene unit of FR-900848 is trans.
