title: A diversity-oriented synthesis of bicyclic cis-dihydroarenediols, cis-4-hydroxyscytalones, and bicyclic conduritol analogues.
abstract: A common-intermediate-based enantioselective strategy has been developed aiming at bicyclic arene cis-dihydrodiols, cis-4-hydroxyscytalones, and bicyclic mimics of conduritol. Key features of this protocol include Barrett's asymmetric hydroxyallylation, ring-closing metathesis (RCM), and completely regioselective Wacker oxidation of internal cyclic olefins.
