The anticancer agent rocaglamide contains a novel bicyclo[3.3.0]octanol structure. The approach to this molecule involved the preparation of a hydroxy ketone intermediate via a samarium-mediated cyclization. This ketone was then converted into an excellent Michael acceptor via novel chemistry. Subsequent steps led to the preparation of an isomer of rocaglamide. An X-ray determination supported our view that cuprate addition occurred with unusual concave selectivity.
