The total synthesis of (+)-crassalactone B, (+)-crassalactone C, (+)-howiionol A, (+)-tricinnamate, (+)-goniofufurone, and (+)-dicinnamoyl goniofufurone is achieved by a 'chiron approach' starting from diacetone d-glucose (DAG). Mitsunobu inversion, Wittig olefination and ring closing metatheses were used as key steps for (+)-howiionol A and (+)-tricinnamate. Meldrum's acid was used for the synthesis of (+)-crassalactone C, (+)-goniofufurone, and (+)-dicinnamoyl goniofufurone. Yamaguchi esterification was used for (+)-crassalactone B, while a Grignard reaction followed by concomitant deallylation was first reported in the synthesis of (+)-dicinnamoyl goniofufurone.
