Stereoselectivities of the dihydroxylations of cis-bicyclo[3.3.0]octene intermediates for a projected total synthesis of chromodorolide A have been explored experimentally. The reaction occurs unexpectedly on the apparently more hindered (concave) face; this result has been explained through computational studies using B3LYP and B3LYP-D3 methods. Torsional effects are largely responsible for the stereoselectivity encountered in the chromodorolide A synthesis. Many literature examples have been r ...[more]
