Total Synthesis of (+/-)-terpestacin and (+/-)-11-epi-terpestacin
Overview

The total synthesis of racemic terpestacin and 11-epi-terpestacin using the allene ether Nazarov reaction as the key step is described. All stereochemistry is derived from the stereogenic carbon atom that is formed during the Nazarov reaction.
