The unusual [5.3.2]-bicyclic structure of the insecticidal Amaryllidaceae alkaloids cripowellin A (1) and B (2) has been synthesized for the first time via a sequence of Sharpless dihydroxylation, ring-closing metathesis, and intramolecular Heck reaction. The asymmetric synthesis of the 1-epi-aglycon 82 proceeds with virtually complete diastereo- and enantioselectivity (de, ee ≥ 98%) in 13 steps and an overall yield of 5.6%. In addition, three alternative approaches toward the aglycon 3 are also described focusing on (1) the alkylation of the 2-benzazepinedithianes 35 and 36 with the electrophile 11, (2) a radical cyclization of the precursor (R/S,S,S)-39, and (3) an intramolecular arylation reaction of the aryl ketone 47.

E-(R)-5-Hydroxy-2-hexenoic acid (4) and the acetonide of E-(4R,5R,7R)-trihydroxy-2-octenoic acid (3) are joined to give, after deprotection, (+)-colletodiol (1).The syntheses of the two hydroxy-acids from poly-(R)-3-hydroxy-butenoate (PHB) and (-)-tartaric acid, respectively, are outlined.
