A mechanism involving the elimination of formic acid from the cyclic aldol intermediate is proposed here. This process can be postulated as a new biogenetic pathway from abietane diterpenes to taiwaniaquinoids. Using this novel reaction, the first enantiospecific synthesis of bioactive natural cupresol and taxodal has been obtained.}, organization = {Regional Government of Andalusia (Project B-FQM-278-UGR20)}, organization = {Assistance was provided to the group FQM-348}, publisher = {MDPI}, keywords = {Bioactive natural products}, keywords = {Synthesis}, keywords = {Diterpenoids}, keywords = {Taiwaniaquinoids}, title = {Unprecedented Elimination Reactions of Cyclic Aldols: A New Biosynthetic Pathway toward the Taiwaniaquinoid Skeleton}, doi = {10.3390/molecules28041524}, author = {Guardia Monteagudo, Juan José and Fernández Vargas, Antonio and Justicia Ladrón De Guevara, José and Zentar, Houda and Álvarez-Manzaneda, Ramón and Álvarez De Manzaneda Roldán, Enrique and Chahboun Karimi, Rachid}, }
