✦ Synopsis
An efficient reductive methylation of the tricyclic ketone 12 in anhydrous ammonia provided the 8 ,y-unsaturated ketone 15 in high yield which was subsequently converted into (i)-shonanyl methyl ether 12) and (+I-ferruginylmethyl ether (5).
Shonanol, a tricyclic diterpene, was isolated from Libocedrus formosana by Lin and Liu'. On
