Convergent syntheses of the title compounds involve: a bis-THF-subunit preparation via Sharpless' double asymmetric dihydroxylation and subsequent asymmetric epoxidation; preparation of the C(4)-hydroxybutenolide-containing subunit using a Stille butenolide synthesis: Pd°-mediated coupling of these vinyl iodide and alkyne subunits; and selective Wilkinson reduction of the resulting enyne.

A method for the synthesis of bis-tetrahydrofuranyl Annonaceous acetogenins, including the natural products and analogs thereof, is provided which proceeds by the Pd-mediated coupling of a bis-tetrahydrofuranyl-subunit comprising a terminal alkyne, with a (C4)-hydroxybutenolide subunit comprising a terminal vinyl iodide, followed by selective reduction of the resulting enyne.
