A new synthesis of unsaturated nitriles : total synthesis of stephalic acid

This thesis describes the total synthesis of (±)-stephalic acid (96), the development of methodology for the conversion of ketones into α,β-unsaturated nitriles and exploratory studies aimed at developing a synthetic approach to cis-clerodane diterpenoids. In the total synthesis of (±)-stephalic aci...
