H. Monti et al., PATCHOULI FRAGRANCE CHEMISTRY - STEREOSELECTIVE SYNTHESIS OF (+ -)-ISO-NORPATCHOULENOL/, Synthetic communications, 26(22), 1996, pp. 4123-4130
A short and efficient stereoselective synthesis of (+/-)-iso-norpatcho
ulenol 3 involving, as a key step, the intramolecular trapping of a vi
nyl carbanion is described. The new compound has a weak characteristic
odor of patchouli.
