Detailed in this Letter is an Adler–Becker oxidation strategy towards vinigrol. The effects of substitution were shown to greatly impact successes of both the oxidative dearomatization and Diels–Alder reactions.
A strategy for the totalsynthesis of vinigrol is detailed withtwo key steps - oxidative dearomatization and intramolecular Diels-Aldercycloaddition - providing the CIS-decalincore. A novel and mild means for the formation of ORTHO-quinonemethides is also described.
