Abstract
Retigeranic acid (1) belongs to the class of sesterterpenes, which comprise five isoprene units. The chemistry of this group of terpenes, representative examples of which are shown in Fig. 10.1 was the subject of a recent review [1]. The unique structure of retigeranic acid was undoubtedly of interest to all those who, in the late 1970s and early 1980s, participated in the development of methods for the synthesis of cyclopentanoid natural products. This particular discipline dominated an entire decade, 1978-1988, as many chemists were targeting various triquinane-containing natural products.
