Total synthesis of a monocyclofarnesane norsesquiterpenoid isolated from mushroom ingested by beetle: utility of solid state Baeyer–Villiger oxidation
Abstract
Norsesquiterpenoid 1 has been synthesised starting from (S)-(+)-Wieland–Miescher ketone analogue 3 via solid state Baeyer–Villiger oxidation as a key step.
