A simple sequence from dicyclopentadiene to the cis,anti,cis-tricyclopentanoid carbon skeleton of the hirsutanes is described.A key step employs a β-enolate rearrangement to generate the ring system having the desired stereochemistry.The route to the requisite ketone for this rearrangement utilizes efficient ring expansion via homoketonization.
