Abstract

Euglobal skeletons were synthesized by the intermolecular cycloaddition reaction of terpenes and-quinone methides generated by electrochemical oxidation. In a two-phase reaction medium composed of hexane-lithium perchlorate/nitromethane, 2-[1- (propylsulfanyl) alkyl] phenols were selectively oxidized to give the cor
