Abstract

The Claisen orthoester rearrangement utilizing allylic alcohol 1 (or 2) and trimethyl 3- methoxyortbopropionate 13a leads to Z-isositsirikine derivatives 21a–22a (or 23a–24a) possessing one RO-function at C-17. In the cases of trialkyl 3, 3-dialkoxyorthopropionates [triethyl 3, 3-diethoxyorthopropionate 14b (or 3, 3-diethoxymethylketene diethylacetal 20b) and trimethyl 3, 3-dimethoxyorthopropionate 14 a (or 3, 3-dimethoxymethylketene ...
