Synthesis and absolute configuration of the terpenes (–)-campherenone,(+)-epicampherenone, (–)-β-santalene, and (+)-epi-β-santalene
Abstract
Biosynthetic considerations prompted synthetic studies which have resulted in reassignment of absolute configuration to (–)-campherenone and have established the absolute configuration of (+)-epicampherenone, (–)-β-santalene, and (+)-epi-β-santalene.
