Interconversion of the pallambins through photoinduced rearrangement

Org Lett. 2012 Nov 16;14(22):5624-7. doi: 10.1021/ol302295a. Epub 2012 Nov 6.

Abstract

A new photoinduced interconversion of four naturally occurring 19-nor-7,8-secolabdane diterpenoids was discovered and analyzed. The photochemical mechanism, intramolecular diradical rearrangement reaction, was investigated by time-lapse monitoring of the end product formations with HPLC and UV, as well as detailed theoretical calculations.
