Oxidation of furandiol to its 8-keto-derivative, followed by enolization and sodium borohydride reduction gave 8-epi-9-epi-furandiol, a trans fused lactarane sesquiterpene, in good yield.Structure of the new compound was substantiated by 1H NMR spectroscopy and confirmed by X-ray diffraction method.The almost quantitative isomerization of furandiol into its 8-epi-9-epi derivative was explained in therms of molecular energy calculations using PCMODEL4 computer program. 6-Epi-9-epi-furandiol served as a starting material for the preparation of a series of trans fused lactarane sesquiterpenes. Key words: Trans fused lactarane sesquiterpenes, C-9 configuration change, synthesis from furandiol, oxidations of furanes, X-ray
