The syntheses of (*)-selin-ll-en-4a-o1(5), (f)-intermedeol (6), (f)-neointermedeol (7), (*)-mite01 (9), and the four remaining unnatural stereoisomers (f)-paradisiol(8), (*)-7-epi-miteol (lo), (*)-5-epi-neointermedeol (1 11, and (*)-5epi-paradiaio1(12) are described. In addition, the related (*)-evuncifer ether (25) has been prepared. The syntheses started from the octahydro-8-hydroxy-4a,8-dimethyl-2(1H)-naphthalenones 1-4. The reaction sequence employed for the synthesis of 5,7,9, and 12 involved Wittig reaction, oxidative hydroboration, oxidation, equilibration, and olefination. For the synthesis of 6,8, 10, and 11 the interim equilibration step was omitted. The oxidative hydroboration was the key step in these syntheses.

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.
