Abstract

An anionically induced domino reaction is the key step in the synthesis of the isotwistane skeleton. This precursor can be transformed into the marine sesquiterpene 2-isocyanopupukeanane or its structural analogs. The tricyclic ester I which is an analog of 2-pupukeanone was made by a new synthesis using tricyclo[3.2.1.02,7]octane as a synthon. The anionically induced domino reaction is the key step in this sequence.
