(“CS") auxiliary. Thus the polyene lb underwent stereoselective ring closure to give D-homosteroidal products in 77% yield as compared with 30% for la. 1 We now disclose an enormous rate acceleration attended by a fourfold increase in yield in a cyclization involving formation of three rings mediated by this same(isobutenyl) auxiliary. This discovery not only has practical potential for the synthesis of corticoids butmay also have biological sig-nificance.Substrates like 2a with a hydroxyl group at pro-Cl 1 are po-tentially important corticoid precursors. 2 Unfortunately the rate of cyclization of such functionalized substrates is attenuated by several orders of magnitude, 3 presumably a result of the low nucleophilicity of the pro-C-8, 9 olefinic bond induced by the electron-withdrawing allylic heteroatom. These slow cyclizations result in poor yield due to the involvement of competing processes, presumably dimerization of the substrate211 and destruction of the double bonds by acid, particularly in the terminator. The aim of the present study was to see if this difficulty could be obviated
