An Alternative Approach towards C-12 Functionalized Scalaranic Sesterterpenoids Synthesis of 17-Oxo-20-norscalaran-12α,19-<i>O</i>-lactone

Scalarane sesterterpenoids emerged as interesting bioactive natural products which were isolated extensively from marine sponges and shell-less mollusks. Some representatives were also reported recently from superior plants. Many scalarane sesterterpenoids displayed a wide spectrum of valuable prope...
