A convergent synthesis of (+)-asteltoxin (1) has been achieved by the Horner-Emmons olefination of bis(tetrahydrofuran) aldehyde 53 and α-pyrone phosphonate 5. A key step features the stereoselective construction of a sterically congested quaternary center embedded in the densely functionalized bis(tetrahydrofuran) subunit by a Lewis acid-catalyzed, pinacol-type rearrangement of an epoxy silyl ether. This pivotal rearrangement methodology parallels the proposed biosynthetic pathway of 1 and is ripe for applications to the stereocontrolled synthesis of structurally complex natural products.

A total synthesis of (+)-asteltoxin, a novel mycotoxin isolated from Aspergillus stellatus, has been achieved by using D-glucose as an enantiomerically pure starting material.
Total synthesis of (±)-asteltoxin

A convergent synthesis of (±)-asteltoxin has been achieved in 16 steps (3.0% overall yield) from 3,4-dimethylfuran. The attachment of the triene pyrone side chain to the bis(tetrahydrofuran) skeleton proceeds by way of the addition of the Corey equivalent to anion 3 to the aldehyde 2 and a subsequent aldol condensation-dehydration reaction of pyrone 4.
