The sesquiterpenes cuparanes and herbertanes are interesting synthetic targets owing to the presence of a sterically crowded 1-aryl-1,2,2-trimethylcyclopentane moiety, and the difficulty associated with the construction of vicinal quaternary carbon atoms on a cyclopentane ring. The significant biological properties of the phenolic herbertanes make them important synthetic targets of current interest.3 Since its isolation, there are two reports on the synthesis of 1,13- ...
