Abstract

The first total synthesis of (+)-intricenyne consisting of an oxocane skeleton was achieved via an extremely selective endocyclization strategy. The key features of the synthesis include a regio- and diastereoselective epoxide opening reaction, concise elaboration of oxocane cores via abnormally selective endocyclization ether ring formation, and versatile incorporation of the labile functional groups.
