Abstract

9-Acetoxy-eudesma-4, 11-dien-3-ones (4a, 4b) and 9-acetoxy-14-noreudesma-4, 11-dien-3-ones (5a, 5b) were treated with DDQ in dioxane to yield normal 1,2-dehydro-products, whereas 14-noreudesma-4, 11-dien-3, 9-diones (2a, 2b) afforded a rearranged aromatic product, 1-hydroxy-15-noreudesma-1, 3, 5 (10), 11-tetraen-9-one(3). No reaction was observed by treatment of eudesma-4, 11-dien-3, 9-diones (1a, 1b) with DDQ under the same conditions. The effect of 10-methyl configuration on this reaction is also discussed.
