Application of the Intramolecular Vinylogous Morita−Baylis−Hillman Reaction toward the Synthesis of the Spinosyn A Tricyclic Nucleus

Abstract
[reaction: see text] A concise synthesis of the spinosyn A tricyclic nucleus 27 has been developed by a route featuring a one-pot tandem intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction and intramolecular vinylogous Morita-Baylis-Hillman cyclization in which five stereocenters in tricycle 10 are set with excellent selectivity.
