Abstract

AbstractThe synthesis of bridgehead diprenylated bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane‐2,9‐dione, based on a reductive rearrangement of an enol lactone, is presented. The same target could be reached by a one‐step sequence involving Michael addition of 2,6‐diprenylcyclohexanone onto acrolein and intramolecular aldol reaction. The first method could be extended to the formation of a compound with gem‐dimethyl substituents adjacent to the bridgehead position, but the construction of a suitably substituted enol lactone, with a view to polyprenylated acylphloroglucinol elaboration, could not be achieved.
