Abstract: (±)-19-Norabieta-4(18),8,11,13-tetraen-7-one(8) was first synthesized starting from m-isopropylbromobenzene(1). After bromination of alcohol(2), coupling reaction of bromide(3) with Hagemann′s ester in the presence of t-BuOK and hydrolysis of compound(4) with KOH, compound (5) was obtained in a high yield. Intramolecular cyclization of coupling compound(5) with BF3·Et2O afforded a trans-fused key intermediate(6). After structural modification by Wittig reaction with Ph3P +CH3I-and oxidation with CrO2, the target molecule was obtained in a good yield.
