A compound having the structure proposed for hippospongic acid A, a triterpene that specifically inhibits gastrulation of starfish embryos, was synthesized enantioselectively. The synthetic compound was not identical to the natural product. Comparison of the NMR spectra of the natural and synthetic compounds led us to propose an alternative structure, which was confirmed by enantioselective synthesis. The present synthesis established that the natural product has the (R)-configuration.

Total synthesis of hippospongic acid A, an inhibitor of gastrulation of starfish embryos, has been studied. A compound having the structure assigned to hippospongic acid A was synthesized enantioselectively. The spectral data of the synthetic compound were slightly different from those of the natural product and an alternative structure was proposed for the natural product.
