Af. Barrero et al., The first route toward oxygenated monocarbocyclic terpenoids: synthesis ofelegansidiol, a new sesquiterpene from Santolina elegans, TETRAHEDR L, 40(47), 1999, pp. 8273-8276
This paper describes the isolation of elegansidiol (1), a new monocyclic se
squiterpenic alcohol, together with the known monocyclic triterpene achille
ol A (2), both from Santolina elegans. The structure of 1 was confirmed by
synthesis starting from 6,7-epoxygeranyl acetate (6), constituting the firs
t route towards this type of compound. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All r
