A retrosynthetic disconnection-reconnection analysis of epoxypolyenes-substrates that can undergo cyclization to podocarpane-type tricycles-reveals relay-actuated Δ<sup>6,7</sup>-functionalized monoterpenoid alcohols for ruthenium benzylidene catalyzed olefin cross-metathesis with homoprenyl benzenes. Successful implementation of this approach provided several epoxypolyenes as expected (<i>E</i>/<i>Z</i>, ca. 2-3:1). The method is further generalized for the cross-metathesis of pre-existing tris ...[more]
