Abstract

Abstract A novel approach for the synthesis of a bird-shaped bis-triquinane 3, a fascinating carbocyclic framework closely related to the skeleton of Xeromphalinone E 1 from readily available 2, 6-dimethyl phenol 8 has been reported. The synthesis of bis-cyclohexadienones 6, 22a–e by oxidative acetylation of tetramethyl bisphenols 7, 20a–e has been investigated using two different reagents under varying reaction conditions. The cycloaddition of bis- ...
