Synthesis of Mono- and Sesquiterpenoids, X. Synthesis of Sporogen-AO 1 (13-Deoxyphomenone), a Sporogenic Sesquiterpene from Aspergillus oryzae

The total synthesis of the enantiomers of sporogen-AO 1 was achieved in 25 steps from 2,3-dimethylhydroquinone (5).Only the natural (+)-enantiomer was bioactive on Aspergillus oryzae.

Naturally Occuring Terpene Derivatives, 383. - Synthesis of Isopetasol

Starting with 2,3-dimethylphenol (1), isopetasol (13) and epi-isopetasol (15) have been synthesized.A new route to the necessary octalin derivative 9 and for the introduction of the isopropylidene side-chain has been described.
