, p. 5643 - 5646 (1987)
A reinvestigation of Eumorphia prostata afforded two new furanosesquiterpenes.The structure of eumorphistonol has been determined by synthesis.Two further furans were prepared and the absolute configuration of the main compound was deduced by a chiral synthesis.
Total Synthesis of (+)-Myomontanone and (+)-10,11-Didehydromyomontanone

The sesquiterpenoid (+)-myomontanone (2), a toxic component of the Australien plant Myoporum montanum, has been synthesized through a short efficient sequence.An electrochemical oxyselenation-deselenation sequence allows oxidation of an intermediate olefin, in the presence of the furan ring, ultimatively providing the requisite enone of the natural product.This approach also allowed synthesis of (+)-10,11-didehydromyomontanone (13) and several other natural products of this family of furanosesquiterpenoids. Key words: Sesquiterpenoids; (+)-myomontanone; myoporone; myodesmone; Myoporum montanum.
