Cerbinal, an unusual iridoid with 10 π-System, was synthesized from (+)-genipin in 6 steps via dehydration of the hemiacetal and subsequent dehydrogenation with DDQ.
Both enantiomers of halitunal (1), a novel diterpene aldehyde having an iridoid carbon framework with a heteroaromatic 10~-system, have been synthesized from (+)-genipin (2).
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.
