    Abstract

    The cis-1,2-dihydrocatechol 2 has been converted, via reaction sequences including Diels-Alder cycloaddition and anionic oxy-Cope rearrangement steps, into the enantiopure bicyclo[5.3.1]undecanes 20 and 33 which correspond to the AB-ring systems of ent-taxoids and taxoids, respectively.
