The study details the enantioselective total synthesis of clavukerin A and its epimer. Clavukerin A is a trisnorsesquiterpenoid compound initially isolated from the Okinawan soft coral Clavularia koellikeri, while its epimer was isolated from an Australian soft coral Cespitularia sp. The researchers aimed to synthesize these compounds to clarify their relationship and contribute to understanding their biogenetic pathways. The synthesis began with optically pure (-)-4, derived from cyclohexenone (+)-3. Through a series of reactions involving zinc homoenolates, diastereoisomers (-)-6a and (-)-6b were formed. These were then converted to enones (-)-9a and (-)-9b via desilylation, reduction, and hydrogenation steps. The enones underwent intramolecular aldol-type condensation to form (-)-9a and (-)-9b. The final conversion to the desired compounds was achieved using the Shapiro reaction, yielding clavukerin A and its epimer. The synthesized compounds were confirmed to be identical to the natural ones through comparison of spectral data and specific rotations.
