摘要: Abstract The 3,3-ethylenedioxy-6α-methyl-5β,6β-epoxide (I) undergoes a novel ring A cleavage reaction with boron trifluoride. 5α,6α-epoxide (IV) gives the expected A-homo-B-nor-4a-ketone, which further reactions involving ketal group. 6α-hydrogen-5β,6β-epoxide (XIIIa) rearranges to give mainly 5α-6-ketonic products, together 6% of A-seco-diene (XV). Mechanisms are suggested for these various reactions.
