Stereochemistry and mechanism of ‘citrylidene’ cyclisation

Abstract

The ‘citrylidene’ products, obtained when farnesal is condensed with phloroglucinol or malonic acid, by heating in pyridine, are highly stereoselectively dependent on the geometry of the 6-olefin of farnesal; an electrocyclic mechanism is supported.
