We describe an enantiocontrolled route to a versatile
intermediate
for the synthesis of highly functionalized clovane-type terpenoids.
The synthetic route commenced with (R)-carvone, a
commercially available and enantioenriched building block, and an
oxygenative strategy was used to concisely access a clovane scaffold.
One example of the versatility of the obtained intermediate was the
formal synthesis of rumphellclovane E.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
