Abstract
A Robinson annulation, van Leusen homologation, and a desymmetrizing CH oxidation enabled an enantiospecific synthesis of the neurotrophic natural product jiadifenolide. From a pulegone-derived building block, a key propellane intermediate was constructed through the use of simple reagents in a highly diastereoselective fashion. A short series of oxidations of this tricylic framework allowed progression to the natural product.
