✦ Synopsis


The marine triquinane sesquiterpene A 9(12) -capnellene

(1) was synthesised from 2,2,5-trimethyl-5-hexenal

(2) by a sequence of 11 synthetic operations _ in 5% overall yield. The key steps 3 + 4 + 5 -f 6 involve two intramolecular type-I-"Mg-ene" processes.

+)-Sinularene (l\_) as well as (+)-5-epi-sinularene (2) were synthesised in a stereocontrolled manner from the norbornene 2 in overall yields of 4% and 8%, respectively. The key step 5 + 6 involves a reqio-and stereoselective intramolecular "magnesium-ene" reaction.
