Synthesis of alpha-onoceradiene-like terpene dimers by intermolecular metathesis processes

Org Lett. 2006 Feb 16;8(4):593-6. doi: 10.1021/ol052680m.

Abstract

[reaction: see text] New alpha-onoceradiene analogues having a terpene homodimer skeleton are accessible from Weinreb's amide 2 derived from commercial (R)-(+)-sclareolide using an intermolecular metathesis reaction as the key step to build the linker joining both terpene moieties.
