Partial synthesis of a trachylobagibberellin analogue
Abstract
We have synthesized a trachylobagibberellin analogue (14) by rearranging a chloro-enol lactone obtained from trachinodiol (2). Its structure was determined by X-ray analysis. This implies that the stereochemistry previously given to a similar compound (20) obtained from epicandicandiol (19) by the same procedure, should be amended to (21).
