Abstract
The synthesis of the tetracyclic mainframe containing the caged ketali c backbone of saudin was accomplished through a straight forward seque nce starting from alpha-tetralone. The sequence included the stereosel ective preparation of a key epoxy alcohol that allowed, by means of an intramolecular radical cyclisation, the total control of the relative stereochemistry of four consecutive chiral centers.
