✦ Synopsis

A novel and general approach has been delineated lor the enantiomerically pure synthesis of the angularly fused tricyclic system of the pentalenolactone family of compounds. D-Glucose is used as starting material and a diasteroselective Diels-Alder reaction sets the elements for the ring junctions.
