Abstract

During our studies toward the synthesis of the ABC ring system of hexacyclinic acid, we observed an unexpected influence of the steric bulk of the ester group of the Michael acceptor in a key conjugate addition. We propose an eight-membered ring transition state to explain the formation of the undesired diastereomer in the case of unhindered esters.
