Abstract

The synthetic challenge of diterpenes2 and diterpene alkaloid~~,~ has attracted much attention by many investigators. A crucial step in the synthesis of these types of natural products is the introduction of a functionalized carbon unit at the C-4a angular position in combination with C-1 substituents with appropriate stereochemical control in the phenanthrene rings5 Hitherto, two general methods have been available; one is an ...
