4. An anionic process involving the intramolecular aldol reaction of a lathyra-7,14-dione has been proposed. Though a synthetic mimic of this process could be achieved, the observed configuration and oxygenation pattern at the cyclopentane ring junction (C-4 and C-15, lathyrane numbering, corresponding to C-4 and C-10 of the tigliane skeleton) was opposite to that observed in natural tiglianes, suggesting a more subtle mechanism (Y. Shizuri, J. Ohtsuka, S. Kosemura, Y. Terada, S. Yamamura, Tetrahedron Lett. 1984, 25, 5547-5550).
