Enantiospecific total synthesis of both enantiomers of 2-thiocyanatoneopupukeanane from (R)-carvone

摘要

Enantiospecific synthesis of both enantiomers of the marine sesquiterpene 2-thiocyanatoneopupukeanane starting from (R)-carvone, employing an intramolecular rhodium carbenoid C-H insertion reaction as the key step, is described. [References: 8]
