β¦ Synopsis
In order to shed some light on the consequence of the variable conformations of the nine-membered ring of the sesquiterpene caryophyllene the epoxidation of allylic alcohols and their subsequent tetracyanoethylene-catalyzed solvolysis are investigated.The formation of trans-epoxides by syn-epoxidation is a consequence of the conformational flexibility of the nine-membered ring, which places the alcohol at C-5 close to the Ξ±-face of the endo-alkene in (III) and close to the Ξ²-face in (I) and (V). -(COLLADO, I.
