Abstract
(Chemical Equation Presented) The bicycle works: A versatile route to the verticillane family of natural products has been devised, utilizing a strategically rigidified relay ring-closing metathesis reaction. The shape of the bicyclic product was used to stereoselectively control the bisepoxidation reaction towards hypoestoxide, a member of this natural product family.
