Displacement of a bridgehead methanesulfonate with lithium dialkylcuprates: preparation of 13-methylgibberellin A4
Abstract
Reaction of lithium dialkylcuprates with the bridgehead 13-methanesulfonate of a gibberellin in the presence of BF3·Et2O gives the corresponding 13-alkyl derivative in >70% yield; the reaction is used in the synthesis of 13-methyIGA41.
