Abstract

The racemic modification of the α-tropolone-containing sesquiterpene olaximbriside A [viz. (±)-4)] has been prepared over 12 steps from the readily accessible decalin derivative 12. The last two of these steps involve a fully regiocontrolled substitution reaction of bromotropone 24. The aromatization of a stereoisomeric and co-produced form of compound 12 has provided (±)-olaximbriside B [(±)-5)].
