An efficient synthesis of the tricyclo[4,3,1,0(1, 5)]decane core (B/C/D rings) of plumisclerin A, a unique cytotoxic marine diterpenoid, is described. A Pauson-Khand reaction and a SmI2-mediated radical 1,4-conjugate addition successfully served as key reactions for construction of the fully functionalized 5,6-fused rings and the highly strained cyclobutanol moiety with correct relative stereochemistries, respectively.
