Starting from 5,5,9-trimethyl-trans-1-decalone (4), short and highly efficient synthesis of three drimane natural products, euryfuran (1), valdiviolide (2), and confertifolin (3) have been developed.

Ozonolysis of phenolic dehydroabietane derivatives was investigated and the products obtained by cleavage of the aromatic ring were found to be determined by the hydroxyl substitution pattern of the aromatic C-ring.Ozonolysis of the 12-hydroxy compound (ferruginol (12) gave pentanorlabdane-type compounds (14, 15, and 16).Ozonolysis of the 11-hydroxy derivative (18) and/or the 14-hydroxy derivatives (19 and 20 afforded optically active drimanic sesquiterpenes ((+)-isodrimenin (8), (+)-confertifolin (7), (+)-valdiviolide (9), and (+)-winterin (10) in one step.In this case, the mode of cleavage was different from that of 12.On the other hand, ozonolysis of the 13-hydroxy compound (3) caused cleavage in yet another manner to give the butenolide (23), which was easily converted into optically active pallescensin A (11).The mechanisms of the cleavage reactions are discussed.Keywords: - aromatic ring cleavage; ozonolysis; drimanic sesquiterpenes; phenolic diterpenes; catechol
