The possibility of achieving construction of the complete framework of cerorubenic acid-III by means of a highly convergent anionic oxy-Cope steP followed by extraannular Robinson annulation has been probed. To this end, the dithiane 10 and iodides 14 were prepared and merged via S(N)2 chemistry. The dianion derived from 15d added smoothly to beta,gamma-unsaturated ketone 5, and the resulting diastereomers 18b and 19b were separated and individually transformed into the diketone pairs 22 and 23. When these advanced intermediates failed to undergo the cyclization required for assembly of ring D, the ability of parent ketone 28 to undergo nucleophilic addition with various of nucleophiles was assessed. Although somewhat attenuated, the carbonyl group in this peculiar structural setting gives evidence of being adequately reactive.
