Access to new sequiterpenoids by catalytic acid rearrangement of 9α-hydroxyparthenolide

Synthesis of novel spiro-isoxazoline and spiro-isoxazolidine derivatives of tomentosin

A series of novel enantiomerically pure spiro-(isoxazolidines/isoxazolines) were synthesized regioselectively by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition using nitrones and nitrile oxides, on the exocyclic double bond of tomentosin extracted from Dittrichia viscosa.
