trans-3,4,4a,5,6,7,8,8a-Octahydro-5,5,8a-trimethylnaphthalene-1-(2H)-one (1) was converted into the drimane sesquiterpene euryfuran (5) in 59percent yield.Euryfuran was then used as a starting material for the synthesis two other drimane natural products, confertifolin and valdiviolide.The preparation of valdiviolide constitutes the first total synthesis of this molecule.
