Abstract
A highly stereoselective route to the polysubstituted chiral octahydrobenzofuran 12, a potential synthon for the E‐ring core in the (−)__‐__reserpine synthesis, is described. The α‐bromo acetal 11 was obtained from inexpensive (−)‐shikimic acid (3) through a series of highly stereoselective chemical reactions (Scheme). Et~3~B/Bu~3~SnH‐Mediated intramolecular radical cyclization of 11 led to compound 12 with the required configuration.
