Abstract

(Chemical Equation Presented) From A to B: The decalin moiety of azadirachtin, which includes the fully functionalized AB ring system (see picture), was synthesized stereoselectively in only 23 steps. Key steps include an intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction, a decarboxylation, a Claisen rearrangement, and finally a tandem radical cyclization.
