M. Tori et al., ISOLATION, STRUCTURE, AND SYNTHESIS OF CHENOPODANOL AND THE ABSOLUTE-CONFIGURATION OF CHENOPODENE AND CHENOPODANOL, Canadian journal of chemistry, 75(6), 1997, pp. 634-640
(-)-Chenopodanol (2) has been isolated from the liverwort Marchantia c
henopoda and its structure determined by spectroscopic techniques as w
ell as by total synthesis. Chenopodene (1) has also been synthesized i
n an optically active form, resulting in revision of the originally as
signed absolute configuration.
