S. Ohta et al., Synthesis of 9-ethoxycarbonyl-10(10aH)-oxo-5,6,7,8,8a,9-hexahydro-9,10a-anthracenecarbolactone and related compounds by manganese(III) mediated cyclization, HETEROCYCLE, 51(11), 1999, pp. 2557-2560
Novel tetracyclic lactone (5a), 9-ethoxycarbonyl-10(10aH)-oxo-5,6,- 7,8,8a,
9-hexahydro-9, 10a-anthracenecarbolactone, was obtained in 34.8% yield by o
xidative cyclization of diethyl trans-2-benzoylcyclohexylmalonate (4a) with
manganese(III) acetate dihydrate in the presence of sodium acetate in acet
ic acid.
