[formula: see text] The total synthesis of the marine sesquiterpene quinone (+)-puupehenone, a promising new antituberculosis agent, was achieved in 10 steps starting from commercially available (+)-sclareolide. The key feature of this synthesis is the construction of the heterocycle via an intramolecular attack of the terpenoid-derived C-8 oxygen function onto an oxidatively activated 1,2-dihydroxyphenyl unit.
