โฆ Synopsis
An enantioselective route to the hydroxyfuran acetal substructure 36 of azadirachtin is described. The enantiopure key intermediate 29 was obtained in both absolute configurations by a kinetic resolution experiment, making use of an optical pure cyclopentadiene. After protection of the cyclopentenone double bond a highly diastereoselective reduction-cyclisation sequence, that may mimic the biogenetic pathway, afforded the tricyclic framework of the target molecule.
