Enantioselective synthesis of ( +) -dihydroantirhine (3) has been achieved from a readily available chiral starting material, (3s) -[3-hydroxy-(E) -prop-I -enyl]cyclopentanone (1 ), via 2,3-sigmatropic rearrangement.In a preceding paper,l we proposed that (3S)-[3-hydroxy-(E)-pylideneglyceraldehyde could be a potentially versatile chiral prop-1 -enyl]cyclopentanone (1) derived from (R)-l,2-isopro-synthon for natural products. In our continuous efforts
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
