An allylsilane-based annulation was used to construct a functionalized perhydroazulene.The C(1), C(5), and C(10) stereocenters, characteristic of the helenanolides, were established using a reductive alkylation strategy.Stereoselective syntheses of the pseudoguaianolides graveolide and aromaticin were achieved.

The first total synthesis of the pseudoguaianolide (+)-confertin (1) begins with the preparation of the enantiomerically pure cyclopropane derivative 6b and its stereospecific ring expansion furnishing the five-membered ring A-building block 8a.The AB ketone 21d is produced by intermolecular Michael addition, Lewis acid catalyzed intramolecular hetero-ene reaction, and a pair of oxidation/reduction reactions.Fusion of the heterocyclic five-membered ring and α-methylenation of the ABC intermediate 35c is accomplished by well-known technology.The structure of essential synthetic intermediates has been determined by 2D-NMR, CD spectroscopy, or single crystal X-ray analysis.The whole synthesis starts from α-chloroacetone and reaches the target compound 1 after 22 steps.

Annulation of 2-methyl-1,3-cyclopentanedione with 4-(halomethyl)-5-(1-oxopropyl)-3-furancarboxylic esters 6a or 6b provides the fully assembled tricyclic framework, 1, of the cytotoxic pseudoguaianolide sequiterpene lactones.Dienedione 1 has been used to construct (+/-)-confertin (2) and (+/-)-aromatin (3).Experiments relevant to a total synthesis of the more complex helenanolides (e.g., the fastigilins, 4) also are discussed.
