A retrosynthetic disconnection-reconnection analysis of epoxypolyenes - substrates that can undergo cyclization to podocarpane-type tricycles - reveals relay-actuated Δ6,7-functionalized monoterpenoid alcohols for ruthenium benzylidene catalyzed olefin cross-metathesis with homoprenyl benzenes. Successful implementation of this approach provided several epoxypolyenes as expected (E/Z, ca. 2-3:1). The method is further generalized for the cross-metathesis of pre-existing trisubstituted olefins in other relay-actuated Δ6,7-functionalized monoterpenoid alcohols with various other trisubstituted alkenes to form new trisubstituted olefins. Epoxypolyene cyclization of an enantiomerically pure, but geometrically impure, epoxypolyene substrate provides an enantiomerically pure, trans-fused, podocarpane-type tricycle (from the E-geometrical isomer).

Efficient access to minimally oxidized members of the ent-kaurane and beyerane class of terpenes has been achieved by using a polyene cyclization precursor designed to directly yield oxidation at the axial C19-methyl group. Construction of the [3.2.1]bicyclic system found in the ent-kaurane skeleton was realized with two overbred intermediates. Wagner-Meerwein rearrangement of the [3.2.1]bicyclic system yields the beyerane skeleton of isosteviol. Copyright

An arene-terminated epoxy olefin cyclization was promoted by a water-tolerant Lewis acid to give tri- and tetracyclic 3β-hydroxy terpenoids and steroid derivatives in 57 and 37% yields, respectively, per new formed ring up to 75%. The Royal Society of Chemistry.
