M. Asaoka et al., AN ENANTIOSELECTIVE ROUTE TO (-)-DELTA(9(12))-CAPNELLENE EMPLOYING SILYL GROUP DIRECTED STEREO CONTROL, Tetrahedron, 50(3), 1994, pp. 655-660
A formal synthesis of a marine natural product (.)-Delta(9(12))-capnel
lene has been achieved by employing silyl group directed stereo contro
l, starting from (-)-2-methyl-4-trimethylsilyl-2-cyclopenten-1-one.
