Synthesis of a 14β-Hydroxysteroid Using the Transannular Diels-Alder Strategy

Abstract
Macrocyclic TCC triene 1, generated by an intramolecular alkylation of a β-ketoester on a π-allylpalladium complex followed by dehydrogenation, underwent a highly stereoselective transannular Diels-Alder reaction affording the tetracyclic compound 2 in an excellent yield.
