A synthesis of the "bottom half" of the antibiotic aglycon chlorothricolide (1) is described.Compound 1 was prepared in 13 steps from the readily available hydrobenzsuberone system 8; the process entails the stereoselective conjugate addition of magnesium bromide to form the C ring.Union of the "top" and bottom" halves and decarbonylation of the derived aldehyde are explored.
