Bp. Pradhan et al., STUDIES ON THE REACTION OF N-BROMOSUCCINIMIDE IN DIMETHYL-SULFOXIDE .9. ACTION ON MORETENYL ACETATE, Indian journal of chemistry. Sect. B: organic chemistry, including medical chemistry, 34(6), 1995, pp. 492-495
The action of N-bromosuccinimide on moretenyl acetate (1) in dimethyl
sulphoxide affords 30-bromomoretenyl acetate (1a), 22,29,30-tribromomo
retanyl acetate (2a) and 29,30-dibromo-22-hydroxymbretan-3 beta-yl ace
tate (2b). 2a on adsorption over basic alumina for 7 days furnishes 1a
, 2b, 30-bromomoretenol (1b), and E/Z-29-bromomoretenols (1c + 1d).
