title: Novel synthetic approach toward (+/-)-beta-cuparenone via palladium-catalyzed tandem Heck cyclization of 1-bromo-5-methyl-1-aryl-hexa-1,5-dien-3-ol derivatives.
abstract: A novel and convenient synthetic route toward (+/-)-beta-cuparenone and many other sesquiterpene natural product precursors has been developed via palladium-catalyzed tandem Heck cyclization of 1-bromo-5-methyl-1-aryl-hexa-1,5-dien-3-ols. [reaction: see text].
