A dramatic synergic influence of substituents present in the allylic endocyclic position of the methylenecyclopentane unit and of a carbonyl group on the tether enabled, for the first time, a totally stereoselective access to the basic skeleton of the kaurane family via a sequence of cyclizations: a [2+2+2] cyclotrimerization, an ene type reactions and an intramolecular [4+2] reaction.

ene type reaction - [2+2+2] cycloaddition - cobalt(I) - [4+2] cyclization - diastereoselectivity
