title: Novel approach for the stereocontrolled construction of eudesmane skeleton: a concise synthesis of (+/-)-balanitol.
abstract: [structure: see text] A novel method for the stereocontrolled construction of the eudesmane ring system based on a cationic cyclization is presented, and the approach is exemplified in a short and efficient total synthesis of (+/-)-balanitol (2).
