Abstract

Other natural products U 0800 Convenient Synthesis of (E)-Methyl O-Alkylferulates: Formal Synthesis of O-Geranylconiferyl Alcohol, a Metabolite of Fagara rhetza. -Two alternative routes for the stereoselective synthesis of (E)-methyl O-alkylferulates (V) from vanillin (I) are developed. Reduction of geranyl ether (Vc) provides the naturally occurring O-geranylconiferyl alcohol (VII). -(MAHAJAN, R. P.; PATIL*, S. L.; MALI, R. S.; Indian J.
