Synthesis and decarboxylation of benzylated B,B-diketoester towards the synthesis of preussin / Muhamad Syazwan Othman
This thesis describes a simple and efficient methodology for the synthesis and decarboxylation of benzylated B,B-diketoester, 5-benzyl-2,4-dioxopyrrolidine-3-carboxylate towards the synthesis of preussin. Preussin is a pyrrolidinol alkaloid which originally understood to have significant antifungal...
