The total synthesis of curvulone B was achieved, and its absolute configuration unambiguously established, as had been determined by TD-DFT ECD calculations on the computed solution conformers. Key features of the synthesis were an olefin cross-metathesis of an α,β-unsaturated ketone as a common key building block with (R)-6-triethylsilyloxyhept-1-ene, and an intramolecular oxy-Michael addition of the hydroxyl enone obtained therefrom. An intermolecular metathesis of the enone with (S)-5-benzyloxyhept-ene also enabled us to prepare a proposed structure for dothiorelone B, thus leading to the confirmation of the structural revision of phomopsin A, a novel nine-membered cyclic phenol ether.2012 Elsevier Ltd.
