Synthesis of the taxane ring system using an intramolecular Diels–Alder reaction of a 2-substituted diene

Abstract
A synthesis of (1R/S,3R/S,8S/R)-8-methyltricyclo[9.3.1.03,8]pentadec-11-en-2-one, which is the ring system of the taxane natural products and contains 3 chiral centres having the required relative configuration, is described.
