Approaches to the synthesis of triterpenoids. VI. The synthesis of 3,3,10aβ-trimethyl-l,2,3,4,4aβ,5,8,9,10,10a-decahydrophenanthren-7(6H)-one, a potential intermediate for pentacyclic triterpene synthesis

Investigations of the CDE ring construction of naturally occurring triterpenoids are described. The efficient synthesis of 3,3,10aβ-trimethyl-1,2,3,4,4aβ,5,8,9,10,10a-decahydrophenanthren-7(6H)-one(25) has been achieved. The D/E ring junction of the molecule, as well as that of related compounds, has been established by the use of 13C nmr spectra. The synthetic intermediate 25 can be considered as a key substance for a synthetic entry to friedelin (1) in addition to β-amyrin (23).
