Abstract

1 R-MeorMOM cursor to 11-nor-9-carboxy-Ag-tetrahydrocannabinol 3, a human metabolite of Ag-tetrahydrocannabinol, the major active component of marijuana. Although a number of procedures have been described for the preparation of unsaturated aldehydes by one- carbon homologation, 2 only two appeared attractive for the synthesis of 2. One of these, developed by Denmark,% proceeds by conjugate reduction of an enone, trapping the ...
