Aldehyde 9 was prepared in 5 steps from 3,5-dimethylbenzoic acid. Treatment of 9 with ketene acetals 10 and 19 and titanium tetrachloride gave free-radical cyclization substrates 11 and 20 in 67% and 51% yields, respectively. Tri-n-butylstannane-mediated cyclization of 11 and 20 gave trans-perhydroindans 14 and 21 in 60% and 63% yields, respectively. The relationship of these studies to an approach to C19 quassinoids is discussed.Key words: vinylogous Mukaiyama aldol reaction, free-radical cyclization, trans-perhydroindans, C19 quassinoids, 1,2-asymmetric induction.
