Abstract
The synthesis of (±) - iridomyrmecin (1) was accomplished from the cyclization products (3) of geraniol (2) via intermediates (4)–(8). This provides a synthesis of 1 from geraniol which is recognized as the biogenetic precursor of cyclopentano-monoterpenes.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
