Alpha,alpha'-annulation of 2,6-prenyl-substituted cyclohexanone derivatives with malonyl chloride: application to a short synthesis of (+/-)-clusianone. Formation and rearrangement of a biogenetic-like intermediate.
Conditions were found for the successful Effenberger alpha,alpha'-annulation of 3,3-dimethyl-2,4,6-triprenyl cyclohexanone silyl enol ethers with malonyl chloride to give the corresponding bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane-trione in 35% yield, this result allowing a short synthesis of (+/-)-clusianone. An i...
