Isoacanthodoral (1) is a structurally unique sesquiterpene in that it is a bicyclo[4.4.0]dec-1-ene with a cis-rather than the common trans-junction between the constituting rings. An efficient construction of this motif has been accomplished by a novel cis-selective cyclohexanone annulation, combining the lithium enolate of ester 8, the alpha,beta-unsaturated ester 6, and vinylmagnesium bromide in a single synthetic operation. For completing the total synthesis of 1, a Shapiro-olefination/hydrogenation sequence and a reductive cyanation were employed.

A new strategy for the construction of the isotwistane skeleton is reported from easily available cyclohexadienes which involves stereoselective alkylation of a bicyclooctenone derivative and a decarboxylative 5-exo-trig radical cyclisation as the key steps in the total synthesis of 5-epi-pupukean-2-one.
