Determination by 1D NOE studies of the stereochemistry of a tricyclic 2-hydroxytetrahydrofuran derivative obtained by hydroformylation of (1R)-(-)-myrtenol
S. Sirol et al., Determination by 1D NOE studies of the stereochemistry of a tricyclic 2-hydroxytetrahydrofuran derivative obtained by hydroformylation of (1R)-(-)-myrtenol, MAGN RES CH, 37(2), 1999, pp. 127-132
The structure of a new, optically pure 2-hydroxytetrahydrofuran tricyclic c
ompound resulting from the hydroformylation of (1R)-(-)-myrtenol was resolv
ed by one- and two-dimensional H-1 and C-13 NMR. The configurations of the
three new asymmetric centres are discussed on the basis of J(H,H) coupling
constants, NOE measurements and molecular modelling. Copyright (C) 1999 Joh
