title: Synthesis of the reported structure of trans-africanan-1α-ol.
abstract: A trisubstituted cyclopentane chiron has been prepared by dynamic kinetic reduction of a pulegone-derived β-keto ester. This chiron served as the starting material for the synthesis of the reported structure of the tricyclic sesquiterpene trans-africanan-1α-ol. The synthetic material was not congruent with the natural product.
