The tricyclic ketal ketones 15a and 15b have been obtained in an isomeric ratio of 9:1 (4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15a + 15b).Compound 15a was converted in seven (or eight) steps to (+/-)epihinesol (3) 29 32 48 49 47 (or 32 39 38 44 47) 50 3> and compound 38 was transformed into (+/-)hinesol (2) in five steps (38 76 77 62 63 2).The identity of epihinesol and agarospirol was confirmed by formation of a common epoxide.
