The first total synthesis of trichoaurantianolides C and D is described. An enantiocontrolled pathway leads to rapid construction of the tricyclic carbon skeleton and establishes the trans-dimethyl geometry of the quaternary bridgehead carbons via a reduc

Studies toward the synthesis of trichoaurantianolide C (5) are described. Stille cross-coupling reactions of (E)-and (Z)-β-stannyl-α,β- unsaturated esters with allylic acetate 32 provide for the stereocontrolled formation of nonconjugated 2,5-diene-1-ols. Studies of the asymmetric Sharpless epoxidation are utilized to establish diastereofacial selectivity for the preparation of a crucial C2 tertiary allylic alcohol for subsequent esterification and ring-closing metathesis. SmI2 reductive cyclization of the key butenolide precursor 49 led to formation of the central seven-membered ring of the tricyclic core of the natural product.
