Abstract

We previously developed a novel rhodium(I)-catalyzed cascade reaction involving the hydroacylation of a 4,6-dienal followed by cycloisomerization of the resulting 1,3-diene with an alkene, giving carbocycles containing a bicyclo[5.3.0]decenone skeleton in a stereoselective manner. Herein, we report the construction of the C₅,C₇,C₆-tricyclic core of guanacastepenes using this cascade reaction.

Key words

rhodium - cascade reactions - dienes - aldehydes - guanacastepenes
