Ozonolysis followed by acetylation of the (3S,3aS,5aR,9R,9aS,9bS)-5a-hydroxymethyl-2-methoxy-3,9-dimethyl-2,3-decahydronaphthofuran (7) derived from (-)-α-santonin gave an unexpected product, (3S,3aS,6R,7S,7aS)-7--2-methoxy-3-methyloctahydrobenzofuran-6-spiro-3'-furan-5'-one (13), which served as the key intermediate for the synthesis of (+)-deoxyvernolepin (2) and related unsaturated lactones (4)-(6).Some unsaturated lactones obtained were submitted to a preliminary test for antitumour activity.
SYNTHESIS OF (+)-DEOXYVERNOLEPIN

2,3,3aα,4,5,5a,6,9,9aα,9bβ-decahydro-3α,9α-dimethyl-5aβ-methoxycarbonyl-2-oxonaphthofuran (2) accessible from α-santonin was transformed into (+)-deoxyvernolepin (1).The preparation of some α-methylenelactones related to 1 has also been described.
