Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(00)79725-5

A stereoselective synthesis of (±)-veadeiroic acid (X) and (±)-veadeirol (XI), diterpenes with cleistanthane skeleton is described. The key step in the synthesis is a stereoselective ring-closure of a substituted arylethyltrimethylcyclohexanol (VIII).
