Abstract
We recently achieved total syntheses of dialdehydes of structure 1'which had been presumed2 to correspond to robustadials, natural products isolated from Eucalyptus robusta. Our syntheses involved cyclization of phenol 3 to provide chroman intermediate 2. Fortunately we found that monodemethylation of the trimethoxybenzene precursor 4 with sodium thioethoxide in N, N-dimethylformamide3 was highly regioselective. Although a ...
