Perkin communications. A new synthetic route to (±)-magydardienediol via a radical cyclisation-trapping reaction
Abstract
(±)-1 -epi-Magydardienediol, an intermediate for the synthesis of (±)-magydardienediol, has been synthesised stereoselectively from 3-methylcyclohex-2-enone in 12 steps via a sequential intra- and inter-molecular radical C–C bond-forming reaction.
