(b) In this proof-of-principle study we have used the diastereoisomer 10 of the starting material which has the same stereochemistry at the t-hydroxy centre in mandapamate, but is epimeric with the same centre in plumarellide. (c) The model compounds 8b and 8c, lacking the C-1 propenyl group present in natural cembranoids, were chosen for synthesis expediency.

23. 1H proton coupling data. Reference to the seminal studies of Deslongchamps et al. on the transannular Diels-Alder reaction and the predicted outcome of the sterochemistries of adducts from isomeric diene and dienophile precursors would suggest that the cis, anti, cis geometry associated with the substituted cyclohexane ring in 27 would most likely arise from the precursors 24/25 accommodating an E-dienophile. See: Marsault, E.; Toró, A.; Nowak, P.; Deslongchamps, P. Tetrahedron 2001, 57, 4243-4260. This analysis may be flawed however for several reasons, including the possibilities for post epimerisations of labile C-H centres in 26/27.
