The stereochemistry of some reactions of the sesquiterpenoid trichodermol
Abstract
Epoxidation of trichodermol and some derivatives gave the 9β, 10β-epoxide although osmylation appeared to give the 9α, 10α-glycol. Reduction of trichodermone with sodium borohydride gave 4-epitrichodermol. Elimination of the 4-hydroxy-group with phosphorus pentachloride afforded the Δ3-olefin without rearrangement.
