The synthetic pathway of ethyl (±)-8-oxo-10-oxa-l'H-spiro[1, 3]dioxolane-4,4'-tricyclo [9.2.1.0 1,6]dodec-6-ene-9-carboxylate (7), an important intermediate for the total synthesis of bruceantin analogue, was developed. Ethyl 2-cyclohexanonecarboxylate and methyl vinyl ketone were employed as starting materials. Robinson annulation, allylic oxidation, regiospecific acylation and the formation of epoxy methano bridge ring were studied. 4,4a,5,6,7,8-Hexahydro-4a-hydroxy-2(3H)naphthalenone (14) was synthesized utilizing the unusual decarboethoxylation reaction discovered during ketalization of octalone (3).
