title: Oxidative allylic rearrangement of cycloalkenols: Formal total synthesis of enantiomerically pure trisporic acid B.
abstract: Enantiomerically highly enriched unsaturated β-ketoesters bearing a quaternary stereocenter can be utilized as building blocks for the synthesis of natural occurring terpenes, i. a., trisporic acid and its derivatives. An advanced building block has been synthesized in a short reaction sequence, which involves an oxidative allylic rearrangement initiated by pyridinium dichromate (PDC) as the key step.
