The (17R,20S,22S,24S) C20-C29 segment of contignasterol has been stereoselectively prepared in 8 steps and 40% overall yield from (S)-carvone. Synthetic studies towards contignasterol's C/D ring functionalization/isomerization are al

The four models of the contignasterol's side chains (2-5) have been stereospecifically prepared. The key reaction in the synthesis is a dimethylaluminum chloride-mediated 'ene' reaction between the steroid derivative 6 and the pseudo-enantiomeric aldehydes 7 and 8.
