Abstract

The enantiospecific first total synthesis of the enantiomer of the irregular sesquiterpene from Ligusticumgrayi allo­thapsenol, starting from the readily available monoterpene (R)-carvone, is described, which confirmed the assumed absolute configuration of the natural product.

Key words

allothapsane - enantiospecific synthesis - irregular sesquiterpenes - carvone
