This study reports the stereoselective total syntheses of the antipodes of the unique 3/10 bicyclic skeletal sesquiterpenoids, namely, hypocoprin A and hypocoprin B. The synthesis involved conjugate addition accelerated by trimethylsilyl chloride, construction of the ten-membered ring <i>via</i> the intramolecular S<sub>N</sub>2 reaction promoted by 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene, and osmium-mediated π-facial selective dihydroxylation to functionalize the 1,1-disubstituted alkene. ...[more]
