Total Synthesis of (±)-Tetramethylmediterraneol B. -The tetramethylated derivative (X) of mediterraneol B is synthesized in a stereocontrolled manner, with the acid-catalyzed rearrangement of (III) representing a key step. The difference between the spectra of synthetic (X) and those of the compound derived from the natural product, isolated from Cystoseira mediterranea, suggests that the structure of the latter is incorrect and needs a revision. -(KAKIUCHI, K.; NAKAMURA, I.; MATSUO, F.; NAKATA, M.; OGURA, M.; TOBE, Y.; KUROSAWA, H.; J.

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.
