Abstract
The synthesis of dicyano abietane 11, a potential precursor to the biologically active tricyclic bis-cyano enone 6 (TBE-31), was accomplished in eight steps from epoxide 13. The synthesis features a Lewis acid promoted stereoselective cyclization of epoxide 13 to generate the tricyclic ring system 12 in one step.
