description

Abstract Starting from (+)-3-carene 1 several spirolactones with carane backbone were synthesized. δ-Hydroxy-γ-lactone 5 was obtained by acidic lactonization of a γ,δ-epoxy ester. Iodolactone 8 and bromolactone 9 were products of iodolactonization of γ,δ-unsaturated acid 7 and bromolactonization of γ,δ-unsaturated ester 3 respectively. The halo lactones were subjected to reductive dehalogenation with tributyltin hydride and dehydrohalogenation with DBU. The structures of the lactones obtained were confirmed by X-ray analysis and spectral data.
