Sesquiterpenes hydrazulene-based

However, relatively less use of the reaction appears to have been made in the preparation of the higher terpenes, but some notable exceptions to this are the use of a Moffatt oxidation as a key step in an unusual approach to hydrazulene-based sesquiterpenes, (42) to (43 equation 17), and the use of the Swem variation in the gibberrellin synthesis (44) to (45 equation 18).
