Synthesis of the structure claimed for puetuberosanol 1 (using the Juliá-Colonna oxidation in a key step) showed that the natural product was a different material. The isomeric epoxy alcohols 16-18 can be discounted from the alternatives. An analogue 19 of marshrin 2 was prepared but the synthesis of the natural product was thwarted by failure of a Juliá-Colonna oxidation in the key step. The epoxy ketone 29 was prepared by Darzens condensation and was converted into (±)-phebalosin 3.
