Total synthesis of (+)-arteanniun M using the tandem oxy-Cope/ene reaction

Org Lett. 2001 Jun 14;3(12):1925-7. doi: 10.1021/ol015970l.

Abstract

[see reaction]. The first total synthesis of (+)-arteannuin M was accomplished using the tandem oxy-Cope/transannular ene reaction as the key step to construct the bicyclic core of the natural product. The tandem reaction proceeded with high diastereo- and enantiomeric excess.
