The tricyclic 6‐7‐6 core structure of the triterpene salvadione ( 1 ) was obtained in an efficient manner from the aryl bromide 16 and the alkyl iodide 35 carrying a methylenecyclohexane group at the terminus. Alkylation of the anion derived from 16 with the iodide 35 gave the tethered system 36 . This compound was converted into the allylic bromide 40 . Finally, a Lewis acid mediated intramolecular Friedel–Crafts alkylation furnished the target structure 13 in good overall yield. The synthesis of tricyclic compound 13 represents a formal total synthesis of salvadione ( 1 ). (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2006)
