Further investigations on the use of Camphor as an Enantiopure starting material in natural product synthesis

The use of (-)-camphor (ent-9) as an enantiopure intermediate in pseudoguaianolide and limonoid synthesis and further aspects of the chemistry df 4-methylcamphor (87) are presented in this thesis. First, the preparation of relay compounds ketal-enone 140, hydroxy-ketone 123, hydroxy-enone 158, an...
