✦ Synopsis


A synthetic approach to ( -)-italicene and ( +)-isoitalicene, sesquiterpenes which possess the rare tricyclo[5.4.0.0 1,5 ] undecane skeleton has been developed using as key step a highly regio-and diastereoselective [2 +2] photocycloaddition. (S)-Lactic acid plays the role of a chiral removable tether group during the building of the cyclobutane ring.
