Erythrodiene, a unique spirobicyclic sesquiterpene hydrocarbon from the Caribbean gorgonian coral Erythropodium caribaeorum, has been synthesized from 4-isopropylcyclohexanol in 8-steps and approximately 16% overall yield. The synthesis features a stereoselective intramolecular carbomercuration reaction as the key step.
