| Abstract
| - Schulzeines B (2) and C (3) were synthesized by aconvergent strategy using epimeric tricyclic lactam buildingblocks, 4 and 5, and the C28 fatty acid side chain 6.Syntheses of tricyclic lactams (4/5) were achieved byBischler−Napieralski reaction. Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation and BINAL-H-mediated asymmetric reductionof an enone was employed to prepare the key fatty acid sidechain 6. The spectral as well as analytical data of 2 and 3were in good agreement with the reported data for the naturalproducts, thus confirming their assigned structures.
