✦ Synopsis
Abstract
The unusual propellane skeleton of the sesquiterpene modhephene (1) has been synthesized starting from cyclopentenone (2). The key step 6 → 7 is an efficient and highly stereoselective intramolecular thermal ene‐reaction. Further elaboration of the propellane 7 gave the enone 10 which had been previously converted to (±)‐modhephene (1) in three steps.
