Abstract
Confertifolin and its related drimanic sesquiterpenes occur in the stem barks of the South American Drinys species.1 Since the elucidation of their structures, synthesis of some of these natural substances has been published.2 We now report that natural confertifolin (4) can be synthesized in three steps from manool (1).
