[reaction: see text] Treatment of sarcophytoxide with trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate afforded an aromatic ketone as an unusual cyclization product. The modified Mosher's method and X-ray analysis performed on the aromatic ketone revealed that it is a 4:1 mixture of 8(R)- and 8(S)-enantiomers. It also suggested that the precursor ketone has 8(R)-configuration, which is contradictory to that expected from the ordinary epoxide-ketone rearrangement.
[反应:见正文] 用三甲基甲硅烷基三氟甲磺酸酯处理肉珊瑚氧化物得到一种芳香酮,作为一种不寻常的环化产物。对该芳香酮进行的改良莫舍尔方法和X射线分析表明,它是8(R)-和8(S)-对映体的4:1混合物。这也表明前体酮具有8(R)-构型,这与普通环氧化物-酮重排预期的构型相矛盾。
