A full account of studies that culminated in the total synthesis of both antipodes and the assignment of its absolute configuration of Saudin, a hypoglycemic natural product. Two approaches are described, the first proceeding though bicyclic lactone intermediates and related second monocyclic esters. The former was obtained via asymmetric Diels-Alder cycloaddition and the latter by an asymmetric annulation protocol. Both approaches employ a Lewis acid promoted Claisen rearrangement, with the successful approach taking advantage of bidentate chelation to control the facial selectivity of the key Claisen rearrangement.
An enantioselective total synthesis of (+)- and (-)-saudin. Determination of the absolute configuration

A short efficient enantioselective synthesis of both (+)- and (-)-saudin, a naturally occurring hypoglycemic diterpene, is described. This synthesis establishes the absolute configuration of natural (-)-saudin for the first time. The key steps include the
