Abstract
Two methods to achieve the formal aldol reaction between acetone and two oxabicyclic [3.2.1] ketones are reported. The trimethylsilyl-protected beta-hydroxy ketones are converted by a Wittig reaction into vinyl chlorides as synthetic precursors to alkylidenecarbenes. Selective 1,5 C-H over 1,5 O-Si insertion has been applied to the synthesis of a model for the ABC ring system of ingenol.
