✦ Synopsis
The total synthesis of the naturally occurring triterpene aonocerin was first accomplished by Stork and co-workers 3 via the Alternate approach to a-onocerin No. 1 6% yield to the acetoxy ester(lO), m.p. 121-122"(C,70.67$; H, 9.33%) by successive treatment with diazomethane, sodium borohydride and then acetic anhydride-pyridine. Ozonization and alkaline hydrolysis of the resulting keto ester., afforded the acid (11) m.p. 185-187" in 51% yield. This acid was identical [mixture m.p., infra-red] to that previously prepared by Stork and co-workers' and thus provides the link between the present work and the previously successful total synthesis of a-onocerin.
