A new synthesis of general applicability to rotenoid structures is described, through its specific objectives were 5-thiorotenoids.The synthons carrying the A/B- and the B/C-ring components are coupled by Wadsworth-Emmons synthesis and the ring B chromene is formed by Mukaiyama directed aldol cylisation: Michael addition completes the formation of the rotenoid at its correct oxidation state and in its stable cis-form.Examples with, and without 2,3-dimethoxylation in ring A are described.
