(E)-Geraniol (4) has been converted via 13 steps involving epoxidations, hydrolytic epoxide ring opening, and two ring closures to the key intermediate 3,8-dioxabicyclooctane alcohol 10 having stereochemical integrity at all three centers of asymmetry.Extension of the three-carbon side chain of 10 and attachment of the acetic acid side chain at C-1 in nine steps completed the geraniol-based total synthesis of the zoapatanol related bicyclic acid 3.The total synthesis of 3 from the ketal-ketone 5 has also been described.

A method of synthesizing 1RS,4SR,5RS-4-(4,8-dimethyl-5-hydroxy-7-nonen-1-yl)-4-methyl-3,8-dioxabicyclo [3.2.1]octane-1-acetic acid. The acid is a derivative of the natural product zoapatanol, one of the active ingredients in the zoapatle plant, and is active as a utero-evacuant agent.
