Abstract
A synthesis of the right-hand substructure 7 of solanoeclepin A (1), the mo st active natural hatching agent of potatocyst nematodes, was approached by an intramolecular [2+2] photocycloaddition. The construction of the strain ed bicyclo[2.1.1]hexane skeleton was achieved in five steps from dioxenone 9. A Simmons-Smith cyclopropanation enabled the installation of the require d cyclopropane. Finally, a TPAP oxidation allowed the smooth formation of t he strained cyclobutanone moiety.
