The advanced confertin intermediate (13) has been synthesised in 20% yield from a simple dihydrocinnamic acid precursor, the hydroazulene skeleton having been constructed by rhodium(II) mandelate-catalysed cyclisation–ring expansion of an α-diazoketone.

Rhodium(II) mandelate-catalysed cyclisation of alpha-diazoketones derived from 3-arylpropionic acids produces bicyclo[5.3.0]decatrienones, one of which has been used to synthesise an advanced (+/-)-confertin intermediate in six stages and 20% overall yield. The possibility of constructing intermediates for the synthesis of damsin-like pseudoguaianolides via catalysed diazoketone cyclisation is also examined and methods for the construction of polyfunctional 3-arylpropionic acids suitable for use as damsin precursors are presented.
