Abstract:
[reaction: see text] A short synthesis of serratenediol is described, which involves a number of powerful key steps including (1) catalytic enantioselective syntheses of the phenyl sulfone and acylsilane shown above, (2) their coupling, and (3) further stereoselective cationic cyclizations.
