Oxidation of Thujopsene with Thallium Triacetate in Acetic Acid

Abstract
Oxidation of thujopsene with thallium triacetate in acetic acid at room temperature gave a stereospecifically ring-contracted ketone (3) in 76% yield, whereas oxidation at 50 °C afforded an allylic oxidation product in 72% yield. The configuration of 3 was estimated by the NMR spectrum of a compound derived from it.
