Abstract
The total synthesis of the title compound (+/-)-1 is described, The ke y step in the synthesis of this cis-fused trinor-guaiane is the base-i nduced and -directed rearrangement of the tosylate ester 4. Because of differences in the spectral data of synthetic (+/-)-1 and natural dic tamnol, a trinor-guaiane isolated from Dictamnus dasycarpus TURCZ., a revised structure for the natural product is proposed, Nuclear Overhau ser effect (NOE) difference experiments and a detailed investigation o f the air-induced cyclization reaction of pregeijerene, isolated from Amyris diatrypa SPRENGEL, support the structure revision of natural di ctamnol.
