Abstract

The 19-nor-clerodanes are compact, densely functionalized diterpenes based on a stereocentre-rich decalin scaffold. To date only a few examples of the 19-nor-clerodanes have been synthesized, hence new flexible strategies are required. We herein describe the stereocontrolled construction of the cis-hydroxy decalin core in a concise fashion.
