The total synthesis of (±)-heliannuol D and its epimer has been completed in 9 steps and 12% overall yield from 2-methylanisole. The benzoxepane moiety of the title compound, a common structural feature in the heliannuol family of natural products, is pre

Aromatic bisabolene derivatives were prepared by two methods involving cross-coupling of organozinc reagents. The first synthesis of (±)-glandulone A (10), as well as syntheses of (± )-curcuhydroquinone (8) and (±)-curcuquinone (9), were accomplished via coupling of a secondary alkyl zinc reagent (1,5-dimethyl-4-hexenylzinc halide, 18) to protected bromohydroquinones using Pd(dppf)Cl2 as catalyst. Coupling of arylzinc halides with alkenyl triflate 16 using Pd(PPh 3)4 catalyst provided a number of bisabolene derivatives and led to syntheses of dehydro-α-curcumene (2), (±)-curcuphenol (3), and (±)-elvirol (13). A high-yield synthesis of the (±)-heliannuol D precursor 29 is also reported using this method.
