    Towards a total synthesis of trichodermal and colodendrolide via a common key intermediate

    No full text
    The synthesis of trichodermol (2) was investigated. The A-ring was formed by Diels-Alder reactions, which produced (2-furoyl) substituted cyclohexenes (30) and (36) with the tertiary methyl in its required position. The high yielding adduct (36) was prepared because of the low yield of adduct (30). Problems were encountered in trying to obtain a 1,3-hydroxyketone; even a protected alcohol α to a silylenol ether eliminated readily to form the enone. Consequently the 1,3-diol (59), with two of the methyls in position, was obtained by epoxidation of the enone (40), followed by reduction of the alkene and then the epoxyketone. The rest of the molecule was to be formed by elaboration of ring opened furfuryl or furanyl derivatives. In the event these gave rise to either benzofuran (33), (60) or 6-(cyclohexenyl)-pyran-2,5-dione compounds (41), rather than the sought after benzopran. The methodology for preparing furoyl substituted cyclohexenes was also applied to a model study of the synthesis of calodendrolide (65). The ketones (92) and (102), with both the vinyl and tertiary methyls in place, were readily converted to acetoxy derivatives functionalised in the 2-position, (98), (100), (104) and (105), by reduction and then esterification. All three alcohol protection-deprotection systems investigated failed; trimethylsilyl was too labile and both tert-butyl dimethylsilyl and tetrahydro-2H-pyran presented removal problems.bf 40-1019, 40-1020 withdrawn.</p

    LGBTI variations in crime reporting: how sexual identity influences decisions to call the cops

    No full text
    Research shows that people vary in their willingness to report crime to police depending on the type of crime experienced, their gender, age, and their race or ethnicity. Whether or not lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) and heterosexual people vary in their willingness to report crime to the police is not well understood in the extant literature. In this article, I examine variations in LGBTI respondents' attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control on their intentions to report crimes to the police. Drawing on a survey of LGBTI individuals sampled from a Gay Pride community event and online LGBTI community forums (N = 329), I use quantitative statistical methods to examine whether LGBTI people's beliefs in police homophobia are also directly associated with the behavioral intention to report crime. Overall, the results indicate that LGBTI and heterosexual people differ significantly in their intention to report crime to the police, and that a belief in police homophobia strongly influences LGBTI people's intention to underreport crime to the police
