This compound is a key intermediate for access to a wide range of compounds of the bioactive trisporoid family. The synthetic sequence consists of the preparation of a properly functionalized epoxygeraniol derivative, and its subsequent stereoselective cyclization mediated by Ti(III). This last step implies a domino process that starts with a homolytic epoxide opening followed by a radical cyclization and regioselective elimination. This concerted process gives access to the cyclohexane moiety with stereochemical control of five of its six carbon atoms.}, organization = {This project was supported by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness (project CTQ2010-16818-BQ).}, publisher = {MDPI}, keywords = {Trisporiods}, keywords = {Apocarotenoid}, keywords = {Domino reaction}, keywords = {Stereoselective synthesis}, title = {Easy Access to a Cyclic Key Intermediate for the Synthesis of Trisporic Acids and Related Compounds}, doi = {10.3390/molecules19021748}, author = {González-Delgado, José A. and Escobar, Gustavo and Arteaga, Jesús F. and Fernández Barrero, Alejandro}, }
