Abstract

This report presents three synthetic approaches to (A)-modhephene (la) and (*)- epimodhephene (18) from enones 10, 11, and 14, the overall yield of modhephene being lo%, 7%, and 1.7%, respectively. The approaches converge upon formation of [3.3. 3] propellenone (9), the latter derived from acid-catalyzed rearrangement of tricyclic octenones 8 and 12. B, yUnsaturated ketones 8 and 12, in turn, were prepared from enones 10 and ...
