T. Uyehara et al., The first total synthesis of (+/-)-junicedranol based on a novel anionic [1,3] rearrangement, TETRAHEDR L, 41(12), 2000, pp. 1939-1942
The racemate of junicedranol, a sesquiterpene-alcohol with a novel carbon s
keleton, was prepared through a unique anionic [1,3] rearrangement of an 8-
methylenebicyclo[3.2.1]oct-6-en-2-ol giving a cyclopentadiene derivative an
d the facial- and regioselective Diels-Alder reaction of the cyclopentadien
e with a ketene equivalent leading to the junicedranol framework. (C) 2000
