title: A new route to furanoeremophilane sesquiterpenoids. Synthesis of (+/-)-6[small beta]-hydroxyeuryopsin.
abstract: The naturally occurring furanoeremophilane 6[small beta]-hydroxyeuryopsin was synthesized by a novel route which involved Stille coupling of a 2-furylstannane with a cyclohexylmethyl bromide, followed by intramolecular formylation of the furan to complete the tricyclic nucleus of the sesquiterpenoid.
