[reaction: see text] The racemic cis-decalin core fragment 30 of integramycin was synthesized by a sequence involving a highly diastereoselective intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction of triene 24. A remarkable switch in stereoselectivity occurred upon changing the dienophile unit of 24 from (Z)- to (E)-geometry.
