Syntheses of polycyclic spiro lignans gymnothespirolignans B and C as well as the unnatural isomer 9-epi-gymnothespirolignan B were accomplished using (R)-Roche ester and an appropriately substituted fluorenone. Key features of the convergent syntheses include coupling of the fluorenone and an iodo-alkene intermediate derived from (R)-Roche ester in the presence of the Lewis acid TiCl(OiPr)3, C9-O bond formation via an SN2 reaction with retention of stereochemistry, and diastereoselective hydrogenations of a common alkene intermediate guided by accessibility or positioning by the C8-methoxy.

As estimated by 1H NMR analysis, thermal isomerisation of the kinetic silylenolate derived from the ester (Z)-8a proceeds with acceptable diastereo and facial selectivity, thence affording an acid having the required absolute configuration for further elaboration to brassinosteroids.
