Article history: Herein, we detail a synthetic strategy toward the C/D rings of cucurbitacin I, a naturally occurring triter-
Received 10 June 2015 penoid. This route utilized ring-opening/ring-closing metathesis of a norbornene derivative for the for-
Revised 14 July 2015 mation of the C/D ring advanced intermediates, allowing for stereocontrol of the chiral centers.
