A Concise Diels−Alder Strategy for the Asymmetric Synthesis of (+)-Albicanol, (+)-Albicanyl Acetate, (+)-Dihydrodrimenin, and (−)-Dihydroisodrimeninol

Abstract

A short, mild, highly diastereo-, regio-, and stereoselective Diels-Alder strategy has been developed for the asymmetric synthesis of (+)-albicanol, (+)-albicanyl acetate, (+)-dihydrodrimenin, and (-)-dihydroisodrimeninol.
