description

An efficient synthesis of the methylfurolabdane 3 from (+)-sclareolide (6) via the hydroxyalkenes 12 is reported. Alternative modes of cyclization of 12 allowed the synthesis of methyldihydrofuran derivatives 4 and 5 and methyltetrahydrofuran derivatives 15. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
