Synthesis of a hydrofluorenone derivative, a promising intermediate for synthesis of C19 gibberellins
Abstract
4-Acetoxy-1,2,3,4,4a,9a-hexahydro-4a-hydroxy-7-methoxy-1-methyl-9-oxo-fluorene-1-carboxylic acid (1′→ 4a)-latone has been synthesized in high yield, in several steps, from simple starting materials.
