Abstract
[reaction: see text] A fully substrate controlled stereoselective route to construct cis-hexahydronaphthalene 4 is described starting from nonracemic butenolide 6. The key step is an exo-selective transannular Diels-Alder reaction (TADA) of tetraene 5, whose intrinsic constraint allows selective formation of one stereodefined product. Compound 4 is a key intermediate in the synthesis of the novel antibiotic branimycin (1).Entities:
