T. Uyehara et al., The first total synthesis of (+/-)-2-thiocyanatoneo pupukeanane based on apinacol-type rearrangement, TETRAHEDR L, 42(4), 2001, pp. 699-702
The racemic mixture of 2-thiocyanatoneopupukeanane, a marine sesquiterpene-
thiocyanate with a tricylo[4.3.1.0(3.7)]decane skeleton, was prepared throu
gh a pinacol-type rearrangement of a bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-5-en-2-ol giving a b
icyclo[3.2.1]oct-6-en-2-one derivative and an aldol reaction leading to the
neopupukeanane framework. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserv
