A general synthetic approach to rotenoids is described, featuring 1) stereospecific, group-selective 1,2-rearrangements of epoxy alcohols, and 2) S N Ar oxy-cyclizations of aryl fluorides. The common intermediate epoxyketone, en route to (-)-rotenone and (-)-deguelin, was prepared from d -araboascorbic acid in five steps. Also described is the conversion of (-)-deguelin into oxidized congeners, (-)-tephrosin and (+)-12a- epi -tephrosin.
