Aa. Birkbeck et D. Enders, THE TOTAL SYNTHESIS OF (-PECTINATONE - AN ITERATIVE ALKYLATION APPROACH BASED ON THE SAMP-HYDRAZONE METHOD()), Tetrahedron letters, 39(43), 1998, pp. 7823-7826
The marine natural product (+)-pectinatone containing 'skip' 1,3-dimet
hyl stereocentres was synthesised via the iterative alkylation of prop
anal SAMP-hydrazone with beta-branched iodides. Factors affecting the
selectivity of the alkylation reaction and the in situ formation of vo
latile beta-branched iodides are described. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science
