A new synthetic approach to quassinoids via an intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction: a stereoselective construction of the klaineanone ring system

Abstract
Thermolysis of the benzocyclobutene derivative (25) prepared from norcamphor (6) gave stereoselectively the tetracyclic compound (27), which was converted into the D-deoxyquassinoid derivative (2) possessing the same ABCD-ring fusion as that of klaineanone (1).
