Enantioselective Total Synthesis of 3 β‐Hydroxy‐7β‐kemp‐8(9)‐en‐6‐one, a Diterpene Isolated from Higher Termites

AngewchemEnantioselective Total Synthesis of 3 β‐Hydroxy‐7β‐kemp‐8(9)‐en‐6‐one, a Diterpene Isolated from Higher Termites: The first total synthesis of the title diterpene was accomplished starting from the Wieland –Miescher ketone. A diastereoselective sulfa‐Michael addition enabled the generation of the delicate β,γ‐unsaturated...
