o-Vanillyl alcohol as a synthetic equivalent of 2-methoxycyclohexa-2,4-dienones: a novel synthesis of linearly fused cis: anti: cis tricyclopentanoids
Abstract
A novel and efficient synthesis of tricyclopentanoids via inverse demand π4s+π2s cycloaddition and photochemical reaction of annulated[2.2.2]octenones having an α-alkoxy-β,γ-unsaturated carbonyl chromophore, is described.
