Abstract

(Chemical Equation Presented) All essential functional groups in the natural product (±)-trans-dihydronarciclasine (1) were introduced with the correct relative configuration in a highly endo-selective Diels-Alder cycloaddition of 3,5-dibromo-2-pyrone with a styrene dienophile (see scheme). The total synthesis of 1 from these starting materials was completed in 11 steps and 15.8% overall yield.
