β¦ Synopsis
An asymmetric synthesis of the tricyclic dihyctrofuran moiety of azadirachtin is reported. The Diels-Alder adduct, which was catalyzed by Evans' chiral Cu-bisoxazoline complex, was easily converted to the tricyclic portion via SmI 2 reductive cleavage and selective functionalization.

Construction of the left segment of azadirachtin in naturally occurring enantiomer is described. The key reaction is an intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction, which was performed under thermal conditions to afford the highly functionalized decalin compounds selectively.
