A model study toward the total synthesis of (+/-)-scopadulin is described.
Stereocontrolled synthesis of the A/B ring system with desired functionalit
ies was achieved by stereoselective cyanation of a bicyclic enone with Et2A
lCN, diastereoselective construction of a quaternary carbon at C-4 with LDA
-BOMCl, and conversion of the cyano group into a methyl group. (C) 2000 Els
