AbstractA new and efficient route to the family of eremophilanes is reported. Key steps are the highly stereocontrolled Diels-Alder reaction and aldol condensation to furnish a cis-decalin system with the desired stereochemistry present in the eremophilane family of natural products. This approach is general and was utilized for the synthesis of (+/-)-eremophilenolide, (+/-)-eremophiledinone, and (+/-)-deoxyeremopetasidione. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
