Abstract
Treatment of 2-ketotax-3-enes with t-BuOK/t-BuOH/THF/65°C results in isomerization of the double bond into the 4,5-
position and a trans-B/C ring fusion. Subsequent exposure to t-BuOK/THF/O2/P(OEt)3 introduces the C-1-hydroxyl
group.
position and a trans-B/C ring fusion. Subsequent exposure to t-BuOK/THF/O2/P(OEt)3 introduces the C-1-hydroxyl
