Parthenin, a medicinally important natural sesquiterpenoid and a potent allelochemical underwent different regio- and stereoselective modifications to several interesting analogues by chemical and biochemical means. The compound was treated with various common reducing agents including NaBH4, , , and as well as with different oxidizing agents including m-CPBA and dilute HCl under different reaction
Enantioselective synthesis of the titled ambrosanolides is described. Use of the trimethylsilyl group as an anchor contributed to the stereoselective introduction of two methyl groups.
