Tk. Sarkar et al., CYCLOPENTANOID ALLYLSILANES IN SYNTHESIS - A FACILE CONSTRUCTION OF THE 5-8 FUSED CARBON FRAMEWORK OF ASTERISCANOLIDE, Tetrahedron letters, 39(45), 1998, pp. 8365-8366
A short synthesis of the 5-8 fused carbocyclic system of asteriscanoli
de, a novel cyclooctane sesquiterpene is described which entails a 5-(
3,4) ene cyclization, an allylsilane induced lactone formation and a [
3,3] sigmatropic rearrangement in the,key steps of the synthesis. (C)
