Crenarchaeol is a glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether lipid produced exclusively in Archaea of the phylum Thaumarchaeota. This membrane-spanning lipid is undoubtedly the structurally most sophisticated of all known archaeal lipids and an iconic molecule in organic geochemistry. The 66-membered macrocycle possesses a unique chemical structure featuring 22 mostly remote stereocenters, and a cyclohexane ring connected by a single bond to a cyclopentane ring. Herein we report the first total synthesis of the proposed structure of crenarchaeol. Comparison with natural crenarchaeol allowed us to propose a revised structure of crenarchaeol, wherein one of the 22 stereocenters is inverted.

Optically active α-methyl α-substituted cycloalkanones are prepared by a chemoenzymatic sequence which involves a Lipozyme-catalyzed transesterification of 1-(chloroacetoxy)bicyclo[n.1.0]alkanes and ring opening of these cyclopropanol derivatives.
