Abstract

The naturally occurring furanoeremophilane 6β-hydroxyeuryopsin was synthesized by a novel route which involved Stille coupling of a 2-furylstannane with a cyclohexylmethyl bromide, followed by intramolecular formylation of the furan to complete the tricyclic nucleus of the sesquiterpenoid.
