Description/Abstract

A short and practical route to the tricyclic core of an unnatural pseudopterosin diastereoisomer is presented. Key features are an arene alkylation with a gamma -methylene-gamma -butyrolactone, viz. 10 --> 14, and an elaborate reduction sequence 14 --> 17 which both proceed diastereoselectively.
