摘要
A highly convergent and atom-economical synthesis of (dl)-[alpha]-tocopherol (vitamin E) is proposed, the realization of which was made possible by the discovery of the regioselective Rh(I)-catalyzed arylation of beta-springene with trimethylhydroquinone. Other phenolic compounds and 2-substituted-1,3-dienes were shown to undergo this transformation. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
