Unprecedented Elimination Reactions of Cyclic Aldols: A New Biosynthetic Pathway toward the Taiwaniaquinoid Skeleton
The acid treatment of 6,7-seco-abietane dialdehydes gives, in high yield, the corresponding derivatives with the 4a-methyltetrahydrofluorene skeleton of taiwaniaquinoids. A mechanism involving the elimination of formic acid from the cyclic aldol intermediate is proposed here. This process can be pos...
