General Synthesis for Chiral 4-Alkyl-4-hydroxycyclohexenones

Year: 2006

Type: article

Abstract: [reaction: see text] Some selective transformations of resorcinol-derived cyclohexadienone are reported. Efforts led to a structure reported to display anticancer properties. On the basis of the results, the structures for natural products reported to contain a 4,6-dihydroxy-4-alkyl-cyclohexenone nucleus are corrected.
