Abstract
The first enantioselective synthesis of lupeol has been developed by applying two carefully crafted cation-pi cyclization stages to generate the pentacyclic structure with complete stereocontrol. The synthesis (Scheme 1) is noteworthy because of its brevity and also because it solves a longstanding problem in the field of natural product synthesis.Entities:
