Abstract
1-epi-Gallicin (10), a modified germacranolide, has been prepared from gallicin (12). A biogenetic-type cyclization of (10) afforded 1 α-hydroxy-trans-eudesmanolides. The mechanism and the stereospecificity of the reaction are discussed in terms of a preferred reacting conformation. The possible biogenetic significance of the process is outlined.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
