Kinetic Resolution in Transannular Morita-Baylis-Hillman Reaction: An Approximation to the Synthesis of Sesquiterpenes from Guaiane Family

An approximation to the synthesis of several sesquiterpenes from the Guaiane family is described in which the core structure was obtained through a transannular Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction performed under kinetic resolution. Several manipulations of the obtained MBH adduct have been carried out d...

Description
Summary:An approximation to the synthesis of several sesquiterpenes from the Guaiane family is described in which the core structure was obtained through a transannular Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction performed under kinetic resolution. Several manipulations of the obtained MBH adduct have been carried out directed towards the total synthesis of γ-Gurjunene, to the formal synthesis of Clavukerin A, to the synthesis of a non-natural isomer of <i>isoguaiane</i> and to the synthesis of an advanced intermediate in the total synthesis of Palustrol.
