Ld. Sun et al., An efficient synthesis of eudesmanolide sesquiterpenoids possessing alpha-methoxymethyl butenolide and butadienolide, SYN COMMUN, 29(7), 1999, pp. 1107-1112
A novel procedure fbr introduction of alpha-methoxy-methyl butenolide and b
utadienolide structures to the eudesmanolide have been developed which is c
onvenient and synthetically valuable for the natural sesquiterpenoids conta
ining the moieties above.
