This facile olefination allows for the iterative incorporation of methylcyclopropyl ketone as a C5 prenylation synthon in the synthesis of acyclic terpenoids, as demonstrated in the facile synthesis of plaunotol 6E-isomer 12, a biologically significant diterpene diol, and naturally occurring diterpene 17. %I ACS Publications
