Significance

Boger and co-workers employed a tandem Diels-Alder/[3+2] cycloaddition cascade sequence to efficiently construct densely functionalized pentacyclic scaffold (±)-E en route to Vindoline. This remarkable sequence encompasses four C-C bond constructions with concomitant formation of three rings and six stereocenters, three of which are quaternary. For the synthesis of enantiopure Minovine via a similar strategy see: D. L. Boger et al. Org. Lett. 2005, 7, 741-744.
