Figure 3. X-ray crystal structure of Coriandrone B.
In summary, the first asymmetric total synthesis of (+)-
coriandrone B and coriandrone A was accomplished through a
divergent synthesis in 11 and 10 steps, respectively, from
commercially available 4. The synthesis afforded (+)-coriandrone
B and coriandrone A with good enantioselectivity in 21.6% and
26.3% overall yield, respectively. Key reactions included a
Claison rearrangement, a Shi epoxidation-cyclisation sequence,

10 and a reaction involving ortho-metallation of t-butylbenzamide
with (S)-(–)-propylene oxide. To improve efficiency, successive
reactions without purification and one-pot reactions were used.
This is the first asymmetric synthesis of these two targets, as well
as
a
new application of Shi’s asymmetric tandem

15 epxidation/cyclisation sequence and ortho-metallation of t-
butylbenzamide with (S)-(–)-propylene oxide reactions in
synthesis of natural products. And this synthesis may be useful as
a
model for similar natural products with benzopyran,
dihydrobenzofuran, or isocoumarin fragments.
