(11) Diene C was prepared from N-Boc-N-(4-penten-1-yl)-
(12) The dienophile face selectivity in the Diels−Alder reaction was
deduced based on the literature and could be confirmed by conversion
into huperzine Q (1). Angeles, A. R.; Waters, S. P.; Danishefsky, S. J. J.

(13) When the Diels−Alder reaction time was extended from 2 to 24
h, the mixture of 17 converged to a single isomer perhaps via either
Lewis acid mediated cleavage of the C−C bond between the α-
position of the ketone and the allylic position of the silyl enolate or
retro Diels−Alder reaction.
