Abstract

2,3-Dehydro-9β-benzoyloxy-β-agarofuran (VI), possible precursor of (+/-)-triptogelin G-2 (I), has been synthesized through a twelve-step procedure, allylic oxidation of which with various oxidative reagents has also been investigated, and three unusual oxidized products, ketoaldehyde X, peroxide XI, and ketone XII, were isolated.
