RT Journal Article T1 Easy Access to a Cyclic Key Intermediate for the Synthesis of Trisporic Acids and Related Compounds A1 González Delgado, José Ángel A1 Escobar, Gustavo A1 Fernández Arteaga, Jesús A1 Barrero, Alejandro F. AB The synthesis of a cyclohexane skeleton possessing different oxygenatedfunctional groups at C–3, C–8 and C–9, and a 1,6-double bond has been accomplished in10 steps with an overall 17% yield. This compound is a key intermediate for access to awide range of compounds of the bioactive trisporoid family. The synthetic sequenceconsists of the preparation of a properly functionalized epoxygeraniol derivative, and itssubsequent stereoselective cyclization mediated by Ti(III). This last step implies a dominoprocess that starts with a homolytic epoxide opening followed by a radical cyclization andregioselective elimination. This concerted process gives access to the cyclohexane moietywith stereochemical control of five of its six carbon atoms.
