Abstract

Although nonenzymic polyolefin terminal epoxide cyclizations are among the most fascinating biogenetic-like terpenoid syntheses and have received an immense amount of study,'another important counterpart of terpene biosynthesis, an allyl phosphate ester cyclization, has never been developed to a useful level due to the lack of a satisfactory reagent to promote the controlling heterolysis of these esters2 We now report the ...
