Abstract
The reaction which occurs when lamiolgenin 2 is treated with an excess of NaBH 4 is unusually complex owing to an intramolecular aldolic condensation which leads to a bicyclo[3.2.0]heptane derivative 4. The mechanism of this reduction has been investigated by using NaBD 4. Spectral data (IR, 1H NMR, 13 C NMR) of the products are presented.
