Significance

Wood and co-workers report an asymmetric total synthesis of (+)-alterbrassicicene C, a fusicoccane diterpenoid isolated from the fungal plant pathogen Alternaria brassicicola.


Comment

BCl3-catalyzed diastereoselective opening of tetrahydrofuran J in SN2'-fashion followed by conjugate addition furnishes the unprecedented tetracyclic oxa-bridged ring system of (+)-alterbrassicicene C. BF3-catalyzed Meinwald ­rearrangement establishes the second enone function­ality, after which the natural product could be obtained in two further steps.
