Abstract

Sesquiterpenoids (+)-trans-dracuncuflifoliol () and (+)-4-hydroxyoppositan-7-one () were prepared stereoselectively from enantiomerically pure (7aR)-7a-methyl-1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 7a- hexahydro-4H-inden-4-one (), whose synthesis was described herein. Conjugate addition of the organocopper (I) reagent to, followed by epimerization of the ring junction, generated 3 of the 4 contiguous chiral centers of both natural products.
