A novel and general approach has been delineated for the enantiomerically pure synthesis of the angularly fused tricyclic system of the pentalenolactone family of compounds. D-Glucose is used as starting material and a diasteroselective Diels-Alder reaction sets the elements for the ring junctions.
Enantiospecific approach toward pentalenolactone

The enantiospecific assembly of the pentalenolactones' carbon skeleton was achieved in 17 steps and 16% overall yield from methyl α-D- glucopyranoside. The synthetic strategy relies on two highly efficient key steps: an exo-diastereoselective Diels Alder
