Abstract

The Cope rearrangement of gem-dimethyl-substituted divinylcyclopropanes has been used to construct functionalised cycloheptadienes. These scaffolds have been further elaborated to furnish advanced intermediates en route to africanane sesquiterpene natural products, most notably pyxidatol C.
