Synthetic Approach for (+)-Africanol

Abstract
Syntheses of (+)-africanol (1) and (+)-isoafricanol (2) were attempted by reductive radical cyclization of (1S,2S,8S)-2-(4′-butenyl)-1,5,5-trimethyl-bicyclo[5.1.0]-3-octanone derived from (1R,2S,4S,8S)-4-alkoxy-1,6,6-trimethyl-tricyclo[6.1.0.O2,4]nonane. This cyclization gave (+)-1 and (+)-2 as minor components, together with trans fused epimers as major components.
