Approaches to the synthesis of the higher terpenes
- Abstract:
-
The various structural types into which the 'higher terpenes' are divided are defined; recent work on problems of their biogenesis and total synthesis is reviewed. A synthetic route to the pentacyclic structure (VII}) is proposed. The tetracyclic precursor (VI) of this this to be obtained by alkylation of 10-carbethoxy-7,7-dimethyl-Δ1(9)-octalin-2-one (V) with the methylene bromide (IV, R=H or OH).
A possible route for the preparation of this bromide is outlined (I-IV); t...
