Abstract

This paper presents a total synthesis of (-)-1(10),5-germacradien-4-ol, a constituent of the needles of Scots pine and of the defence secretion from the larvae of the pine sawfly. The synthesis uses a strategy based on an intramolecular alkylation to form an unsaturated monocyclic 10-membered ring.

Key words

germacrane terpenoids - intramolecular alkylation - stereoselective synthesis

Isolated yield of homogeneous substances. All new compounds showed satisfactory spectroscopic data based on data from 1H and 13C NMR, IR and MS.

Attempted removal of the benzyl group with H2/Pd-C in MeOH was inefficient, whereas migration of the silyl group was observed in THF.

*Due to the fact that this is a mixture of two stable conformers, or 5E/5Z isomers, the 1H NMR characterisation is still pending.
