Method for preparing dodecahydro-3a,6,6,9a-tetramethylnaphtho[2,1-b]furan and novel haloethyl decalin derivatives

摘要

The method is directed to the preparation of dodecahydro-3a,6,6,9a-tetramethyl-naphtho[2,1-b]furan from sclareol using an alkoxy-radical fragmentation reaction. A novel 9-haloethyl decalin derivative is an intermediate in this method.
