description

A study of the Cope rearrangement of 15-oxo-germacranolides to 15-oxo-elemanolides has been carried out. The synthesis of two natural elemanolides, isolated from Centaurea paui, and an efficent isomerization of the C-4/C-5 double bond of 15-oxo-germacranolides to form heliangolides are reported. The absolute configuration of all the compounds has been ascertained. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2003)
