Abstract A chiral tricyclic terpene possessing a 6,6,6-tricyclic framework and a 3,3-dimethyl-7-oxooctylidenyl side chain undergoes a double ring-closing reaction to give two chiral pentacyclic terpenes in a ratio of 4:3 via an intramolecular Michael addition followed by aldol condensation under basic conditions. Three new stereogenic centers are introduced in the initial Michael annulation reaction. Stereoselective installation of an ethoxycarbonyl group at C17 of the two pentacyclic terpenes separately gives the corresponding highly functionalized pentacyclic terpenoids with seven stereogenic centers. The structures and stereochemistry of key intermediates and products are established through X-ray crystallographic analysis. A mechanism is proposed for explaining the stereochemistry in the Michael annulation reaction.
