We describe here a full account of the first total synthesis of (+/-)-hibiscone C (gmelofuran) (1), a structurally novel furanosesquiterpene isolated from the heartwood of Hibiscus elatus (Blue Mahoe), the national tree of Jamaica.The synthesis proceeds i

A total synthesis of (±)-hibiscone C, one member of the furanosteroid family of natural products that also includes viridin and wortmannin, is reported. Two new pathways for formation of the key diacyl furan subunit are described.
