37. Related polyene cyclizations appear not to exhibit a selectivity dependence on the nucleophilicity of the aromatic ring, perhaps because of an overriding dependence on adopting the Stork-Eschenmoser π-complexed chair conformation. For an acetoxy-bearing phenyl ring exhibiting excellent selectivity for the trans-abietane, see: Ishihara, K.; Ishibashi, H.; Yamamoto, H. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2001, 123, 1505.
