Chemistry of the Podocarpaceae. LX. The preparation of homologues of Ambrox and Isoambrox from podocarpic acid

Abstract

Derivatives of podocarpic acid (5) have been converted into the homologues (22), (23), (24), (26), (27) and (28) of the cyclic ethers Ambrox (25) and Isoambrox (29). All possess ambergris-like odours.
