Abstract
A full account of our previously disclosed synthesis of the monoterpene dimer cardamom peroxide is reported. Inspired by hypotheses regarding the potential biosynthetic origins of this natural product, several unproductive routes are also reported. The chemical reactivity of this structurally unique metabolite in the presence of iron(II) sources is also reported as is its antimalarial activity against Plasmodium falciparum clinical isolates from several Cambodian provinces.Entities:
