Abstract

In the course of studies aimed at the synthesis of natural sesquiterpenoids we discovered that/?, y-epoxy nitriles underwent reductive decyanation-elimination to allylic alcohols upon treatment with sodium in liquid ammonia.'The epoxy nitriles could be prepared quite easily from ketones by a sequence involving (a) condensation with diethyl sodiocyanomethylphosphate,(b) geminal alkylation with methyl iodide, and (c) ...
