Preparation of an Eight-Membered Sesquiterpene Lactone Resulting from Sequential Gif System GoAggIII and MCPBA Oxidation of ( )-10β,14-Dihydroxy-allo-aromadendrane

Abstract

Studies aimed at a comparison of chemical, biomimetic (Gif system GoAggIII)and enzymatic (CHMO) transformations of natural ( )-10β,14-dihydroxy-allo-aromadendrane have led to preparation of an eight-member sesquiterpene lactone.
