Abstract

The highly functionalized [5.9. 5] tricyclic framework resident in jatrophatrione (1) and citlalitrione (2) has been synthesized. The route begins with the tandem anionic oxy-Cope rearrangement/methylation/transannular ene cyclization of 21 and subsequent introduction of a conjugated enone double bond. Hydroxyl-directed 1, 4-reduction of this functionality in 25 with LiAlH4/CuI/hexamethylphosphoramide/tetrahydrofuran sets the stage for the ...
