Synthesis of (4R)-4-Ethenyl-5,5-dimethyltetrahydrofuran-2-one and 6,6-Dimethyl-5-(2-oxopropyl)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-one from (+)-3-Carene
摘要
Abstract
Oxidative cleavage of (+)-3-carene gave vicinal disubstituted dimethylcyclopropane α,ω-amido- and ketoesters, and intramolecular cyclization of the latter by the action of methanesulfonic acid afforded (4R)-4-ethenyl-5,5-dimethyltetrahydrofuran-2-one and 6,6-dimethyl-5-(2-oxopropyl)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-one.
