10. The base catalyzed cyclization of 1,4-diketone 6 to the nor-guaiane 7 is a capricious reaction with variable yields (ref. 3), and the product 7 being an α,β,γ,δ-conjugated dienone does not offer the desired chemoselectivity on further chemical exploration. We justify the capricious nature of this aldol reaction as a consequence of the planarity of the endocyclic α,β-enone system with the side chain acetonyl group, which does not easily permit the necessary superposition of the interacting enolate-carbonyl group orbitals.
