Coronafacic acid has been synthesized from a hydrindanone prepared by a 6-e
ndo-trig mode cyclization reaction of the enone-aldehyde with samarium(II)
iodide. The stereochemistry of the hydrindanone was controlled by the coord
inated samarium species resulting in cis in respect of the hydroxyl group a
t C-4 and the juncture proton at C-3a. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All r
