(-)-Englerin A was synthesized in 20 steps from the commercially available material (R)-(+)-limonene. In addition, (-)-englerin B, (+)-orientalol E/F and (-)-oxyphyllol were obtained from the intermediate in the route. The key steps include a hydroxyl-directing stereoselective and regioselective intramolecular cyclopropanation and a multi-gram-scale stereoselective formal intramolecular [3 + 2] cross cycloaddition ([3 + 2]-IMCC) of a cyclopropane 1,1-diester with a carbonyl. A precursor of 7,10-diastereoisomer of englerins was also obtained.

Conditions have been found under which trisubstituted olefins can be methylated with diaryl methyl sulfonium salts in 2,6-di-t-butylpyridine.The pattern of methylated compounds formed is similar to that of the enzymatic methylation of Δ24 steroids side chains with S-adenosylmethionine as a methyl donor.
