To construct taxane ABC tricarbocycles, a useful methodology including an aldol-like eight-membered B ring cyclization between dienol silyl ethers and acetals was explored. By applying this methodology, the enantioselective total syntheses of (+)-taxusin and (-)-taxol have been achieved, starting from the substrate containing a chiral center at each C1 site, based on AC to ABC strategies. Syntheses of several artificial taxoids are also described.
