Abstrakt: This Letter describes a concise, diastereoselective synthesis of the tricyclic carbon framework of the guanacastepene family of natural products. An intermolecular Diels−Alder reaction established a remote stereochemical relationship and facilitated a synthesis of allylic acetate 3, which was subsequently joined with vinylstananne 9 via a Stille coupling. An intramolecular [2 + 2] photocycloaddition then afforded complex cyclobutyl ketone 19, which underwent a stereoelectronically controlled fragmentation to the guanacastepene architecture on treatment with samarium diiodide.
