✦ Synopsis


A convergent enantioselective total synthesis of the natural product (-)-balanol (1) is described. In addition to benzophenone fragment 8, key intermediates are chiral bicyclic aziridine 3 and the corresponding epoxide 4, both of which undergo highly regio-and stereoselective nucleophilic ring-opening reactions, allowing control of the two stereogenic centres of the target molecule. The structure and reactivity of 3 and 4 have been investigated in some detail.
