title: Toward the synthesis of the antibiotic branimycin: novel approaches to highly substituted cis-decalin systems.
abstract: A variety of highly functionalized cis-decalin systems have been prepared by means of the stereoselective transannular Diels-Alder (TADA) reaction of a (Z,E,Z,Z)-tetraene macrolide, and by means of intramolecular nitrile oxide olefin (INOC) or ring-closing metathesis (RCM) annulations to quinic acid derivatives.
