A versatile synthetic approach to grandisol monoterpene pheromone

Arch Pharm Res. 2011 Sep;34(9):1437-42. doi: 10.1007/s12272-011-0904-7. Epub 2011 Oct 6.

Abstract

A versatile and efficient synthetic procedure for the grandisol pheromone library has been established. The key feature of our synthesis involves a versatile and highly regioselective Pd(0)-catalyzed intramolecular allylic alkylation for the key cyclobutane skeleton of grandisol. In this connection, the concise synthesis of (±)-grandisol as well as mechanism study of Pd(0)-catalyzed regioselective cyclization as a key reaction have also been accomplished.
