摘 要: | The eudesmane derivative, (-)-10-epi-α-cyperone 1, is widely used as a chiral starting material for the synthesis of other fused-ring sesquiterpenes1. The first synthetic work was reported by Howe and co-workers via condensation of (+)-dihydrocarvone 2 with 1-diethylaminopentan-3-one methiodide in 32% yield2. Previously, our group reported the synthesis of compound 1 by treating ketone 2 with ethyl vinyl ketone (EVK) directly under different conditions1a, but the yields were not satisfacto…
