While the first total synthesis of modiolide A (1a), a 10-membered ring lactone with a marine-origin was achieved, an important chiral building block for constructing the chirality at C-4 in 1a, (S)-6-[(4-methoxybenzyl)oxy]-1-trimethylsilyl-1-hexyn-3-ol (

Two new marine prostanoids, preclavulone lactones I (1) and II (2) were isolated from the Okinawan soft coral, Clavularia viridis. Their structures were determined based on spectroscopic analysis and chemical synthesis from (S)-malic acid. Preclavulone lactones with side chains having absolute configurations opposite to those of mammalian prostanoids could be recognized as key intermediates in biosynthesis of clavulones.
