title = "Methylation-ring opening of 3,3-disubstituted 2,3-epoxy alcohols. Synthesis of chiral quaternary fragments for assembly of briaran diterpenes",
abstract = "Two chiral quaternary carbon-containing fragments suitable for elaboration to the briaran diterpenes were obtained by regioselective methylation of functionalized 3,3-disubstituted 2,3-epoxy-1-ols. The factors which favor methylation at the more hindered position of a trisubstituted 2,3-epoxy alcohol were determined.",
