Popis: Enantioselective synthesis of (+)-equilenin ( 1 ) utilizing a novel strategy is described. The key steps are two cascade ring expansion reactions of small ring systems; 1) chiral (salen)Mn III complex-catalyzed cascade reaction of cyclopropylidene; 2) Pd II -mediated cascade reaction of the cyclobutanol.
