The biomimetic synthesis of the bisesquiterpene lactones (±)-biatractylolide 1 and (±)-biepiasterolide 2 via dimerization of the captodative stabilized radical 8 is reported. Atractylon 7 has also been shown to be a possible intermediate during the biosynthesis of biatractylolide 1, biepiasterolide 2, atractylolide 3, and hydroxyatractylolide 4.

From the ketoester 2 the α,β-unsaturated ketone 9 is prepared via ketalization (--> 3), hydroboration (--> 4), oxidation (--> 6), Wittig reaction (--> 7), hydrolysis (--> 8a), and oxidative decarboxylation. 9 is a useful starting material for the synthesis of 8,9-dehydroasterolide (1) via epoxidation (--> 10), PO olefination (--> 11), hydrolysis (--> 12), and dehydratization.
