Abstract

An efficient six-step asymmetric synthesis of the cyclopropane containing natural product cascarillic acid in 41% overall yield is described. The key synthetic steps involve the use of a temporary stereogenic hydroxyl group to control the facial selectivity of a directed cyclopropanation reaction and its subsequent removal via a retro-aldol reaction.
