Abstract

As a part of studies aimed toward the total synthesis of biologically important natural product guanacastepene A of contemporary interest,a new and concise route to a fully functionally endowed hydroazulenic core is delineated. The strategy involves the building of the requisite stereochemical features on a endo-tricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]decane matrix and excision of the five-membered ring through a retro-Diels-Alder reaction.Generation of the seven-membered ring to access the hydroazulenic framework was achieved employing ring closure metathesis (RCM)reaction as the key step.
