title: Synthesis of the complete carbocyclic skeleton of vinigrol.
abstract: [reaction: see text] An efficient entry to the fully elaborated skeleton of vinigrol is described. The installation of the desired stereochemistry at C(12) and the construction of the eight-membered ring were achieved in one operation by a remarkably facile anionic oxy-Cope rearrangement of Z-isopropenyl isomer 24.
