The total synthesis of the title compound (1), starting with (R)-( - )-α-phellandrene (6), has been accomplished. The synthesis rigorously proves the relative stereochemical relationship of the diterpenoid and carbohydrate domains of eleutherobin. Key reactions included a Nozaki - Kishi ring closure to produce a furanophane (see 37 → 38), a pyranose to furanose transposition (see 50 → 47), and a novel oxycarbaglycosidation (cf. 58 → 87) for joining the two domains.

A ring expansion/ring contraction sequence is one of the key steps in the stereoselective synthesis of the tricyclic eleutheside skeleton 2 from α-phellandrene 1. Eleuthesides are natural products that are isolated from different marine sources, and sever
