Abstract

The acid catalysed rearrangement of thevinols has been shown to proceed with retention of configuration at C-7 and therefore not via a sp2 hybridised centre at C-7 as had been proposed previously. Additionally a single diastereomer possessing the 20[R] configuration is formed in the rearrangements of the two diastereomeric i-propyl alcohols.
