An enantioselective synthesis of (+)-epoxydictymene, which involves efficient construction of the strained oxabicyclo[3.3.0]octane subunit by irradiation with iodosobenzene diacetate and iodine in cyclohexane solution, is reported.
Total synthesis of (+)-epoxydictymene. Application of alkoxy-directed cyclization to diterpenoid construction

An enantioselective synthesis of (+)-epoxydictymene (1) is reported. Condensation of the enantiopure aldehydo ester 5 with (S)-3-isopropylcyclopentenyllithium proceeds selectively to afford 13. Once this lactone was methylenated with the Tebbe reagent, th
