Enantioselective Syntheses of Wickerols A and B

The evolution of a successful strategy for the synthesis of the strained, cage-like antiviral diterpenoids wickerols A and B is described. Initial attempts to access the carbocyclic core were surprisingly challenging and in retrospect, presaged the many detours needed to ultimately arrive at the fully adorned wickerol architecture. In most cases, conditions to trigger desired outcomes with respect to both reactivity and stereochemistry were hard-won. The successful synthesis ultimately leveraged alkenes in virtually all productive bond-forming events. A series of conjugate addition reactions generated the fused tricyclic core, a Claisen rearrangement was used to install an otherwise unmanageable methyl-bearing stereogenic center, and a Prins cyclization closed the strained bridging ring. This final reaction proved enormously interesting because the strain of the ring system permitted diversion of the presumed initial Prins product into several different scaffolds.
