Total synthesis of (+)-epolactaene was accomplished by a convergent approach utilizing the fluoride anion-catalyzed aldol-type reaction of (-)-α-trimethylsilylangelica lactone epoxide with tetraene aldehyde as a key reaction.

A stereocontrolled total synthesis of both the (+)- and (-)-epolactaene ((+)- and (-)-1) enantiomers from tetrahydropyran-2-ol is described. The following reactions in this synthesis are particularly noteworthy: (1) the stereoselective construction of the conjugated (E,E,E)-triene by a combination of kinetic deprotonation and thermodynamic equilibration, (2) the E-selective Knoevenagel condensation of β-ketonitrile 33 with a chiral 2-alkoxyaldehyde, (3) a diastereoselective epoxidation achieved using a bulky nucleophile (TrOOLi) and an appropriate protecting group, (4) the mild hydrolysis of an α-epoxy nitrile by silica gel on TLC facilitated by hydroxyl-mediated, intramolecular assistance.
