Abstract
Abstract A highly diastereoselective total synthesis of 25-hydroxy Windaus-Grundmann ketone (2) was achieved via a novel regiocontrolled CC bond formation by an intramolecular epoxide ring opening reaction of the bissulfonyl epoxide (19) as a key step, which was derived stereoselectively by the thermolysis of olefinic benzocyclobutene (8) as a key step.
