A total synthesis of (+)-quassin from naturally occurring (S)-(+)-carvone is described. The total number of steps was 28, and the overall yield was about 2.6%. The synthetic strategy for the construction of the tetracyclic carbon framework was based on a C→ABC→ABCD ring annulation sequence, involving an aldol reaction, an intramolecular Diels - Alder reaction, and an intramolecular acylation as the key steps. Subsequent functionalization of ring A and ring C then afforded the target (+)-quassin.

New quassinoid glucosides, picrasinoside-B,-C,-D,-E,-F, and -G, and quassinoid hemiacetals, picrasinol-A and -B, were isolated from the bark of Picrasma ailanthoides PLANCHON, and their structures are established by spectral analysis and chemical transformations.
