Abstract

Abstract: Enantiospecific first total synthesis of the linear triquinane sesquiterpene cucumin- H has been described.(R)-Limonene has been employed as the chiral starting material and a combination of Claisen rearrangement, intramolecular cyclopropanation and Nazarov reactions are employed for the regio-and stereospecific construction of the triquinane framework.
