✦ Synopsis

A Facile Entry into the Ring System of Sativene.

-Careful bromination of the diketone (I) allows the synthesis of the dibromides (II) and (III) or corresponding tribromide (IV). Their DBU-mediated dehydrobromination leads to tricyclic compounds of which (V) and (VII) have the same carbon skeleton as the sesquiterpene hydrocarbon sativene. -(KARIMI, S.; PETERSEN, B.;
