Radical cyclization of iodoketone 3 afforded cis-hydrindanone 8. Compound 8 was converted into key intermediate 5 via conventional transformations. Annulation of a spiro-lactal unit to 5 was pursued with three different approaches. In the first approach, radical cyclization of propargyl ester 17 provided spiro-lactone 18 with an undesired stereochemistry. Attempts to invert the stereochemistry at the spiro-center via retro-aldol and aldol condensation of compound 20 failed. In the second approach, key intermediate 5 was transformed into 23. Acylation of compound 23 gave 24 as a single diastereomer with the desired stereochemistry but in low yield. NBS bromination of 24 followed by lactone formation gave 26 in low yield. Alternatively, allylic oxidation of 24 with SeO2 followed by lactonization gave 26 also in low yield. Finally, a third approach employing a semipinacol-type rearrangement of epoxy-alcohol 33 gave aldehyde 34 with the desired stereochemistry. Treatment of compound 34 with HCl in MeOH effected spiro-lactal formation and provided (±)-peribysin E. The overall yield of our synthesis is 3.2% from 2-methylcyclohenen-1-one.
