This paper details studies towards the total synthesis of solanoeclepin A (1), the most active natural hatching agent of potato cyst nematodes. The first goal was the preparation of the tetracyclic left-handed substructure 2 in enantiopure form. The 7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane moiety was obtained via a diastereoselective intramolecular Diels-Alder strategy by using (R)-phenylglycinol as a chiral auxiliary as pioneered by Mukaiyama. A chromium-mediated nickel-catalysed coupling of aldehyde 5 with vinyl triflate 6 gave α,β-unsaturated lactone 18 as a single stereoisomer. The seven-membered ring was expected to arise from a McMurry coupling of dialdehyde 4. Surprisingly, oxidation of diol 24 did not lead to the desired dialdehyde 4, but to the eight-membered ring lactone 25.

The synthesis of the enantiopure left-hand substructure of solanoeclepin A is described. Key steps include a chromium-mediated coupling of an oxabicyclic aldehyde with a β-ketoester-derived enol triflate to give a lactone, and a ring-closing metathesis reaction to form the seven-membered ring.

Mukayama's ester 6 (methyl (1S,2R,5S)-2,5-epoxy-2,6,6-trimethylcyclohexane-1-carboxylate) was transformed in a few conventional steps into the title compound 14.Its CD curve was found to be significantly different from that of the analogous 3,6-epoxide, a
