We recently reported a general approach to the di- and triquinane frameworks. The strategy takes advantage of two powerful reactions to build the molecular...
Based on model studies with dispiroundecane 10, dispiroundecane 1 has been synthesized and rearranged to (±)-modhephene 6 and (±)-isocomene 7. The epimer...
The preparation and further rearrangement of (-)-modhephene (1) to a (-)-triquinane 5 has been assessed through acid catalysis. The rearrangement involved ...
We describe an efficient total synthesis of the sesquiterpenes (±)-β-isocomene and (±)-isocomene using a Lewis acid-promoted [3 + 2] cycloaddition of al...
An enantiospecific synthesis of the angular triquinane system present in the sesquiterpenes cameroonanes and silphiperfolanes has been accomplished, starti...
Synthesis of angularly tricyclopentanoid sesquiterpenes, was investigated via tricyclo[7.3.0.0^]dodecane derivatives using intramolecular Diels-Alder react...
