Superacid cyclization of (2 E ,6 E ,10 E ,14 E )-8-phenylsulfonylgeranylfarnesol tetrahydropyranyl ether
文摘
A mixture of (13E,17E)-12-phenylsulfonylbicyclogeranylfarnesol tetrahydropyranyl ether (8) and (13E,17E)-12-phenylsulfonylbicyclogeranylfarnesol (9) was formed by superacid low-temperature cyclization of exclusively trans-8-phenylsulfonylgeranylfarnesol tetrahydropyranyl ether (1). The structures of 8 and 9 were established using spectral data. The optically active form of 9 was also confirmed by retrosynthesis from (+)-sclareolide (10).
