Structurally Selective Electrophilic Cyclization of α,ω-Hydroxygeraniol Derivatives by Mercury(II) Trifluoroacetate

Abstract

An efficient method for the synthesis of polyfunctionalized derivatives of cyclogeraniol from α,ω-hydroxygeraniol derivatives by mercury(II) trifluoroacetate is described.

Key words

cyclizations - stereoselective synthesis - terpenoids - heterocycles - esters
