Disclosed are new polycyclic carbogenic molecules and their methods of synthesis. The new polycyclic carbogenic molecules may be utilized in anti-cancer therapies. In particular, the polycyclic carbogenic molecules may be formulated as pharmaceutical compositions that comprise the small molecules, which compositions may be administered in methods of treating and/or preventing cell proliferative diseases and disorders such as cancer. The new polycyclic carbogenic molecules may be prepared from vinyl- or allyl-substituted cyclohexenone precursors via preparation of a silyl bis-enol ether intermediate.
