Abstract:
Intramolecular Diels-Alder approach to construct the fused AB ring of trinervitane has been demonstrated efficiently. The key intermediate for the Diels-Alder cyclization has been achieved following highly stereoselective Julia-Kocienski olefination, Sharpless epoxidation and Evan’s asymmetric alkylation as the key reactions.
