Abstract
A short route from dihydrocarvone is described, which led to the tetracarbocyclic core common to artatrovirenol A and B and daphnenoid A. A variant of this route afforded guaia-4,6-dien-3-one (from Enterospermum madagascarensis) and its epimer. From 2-(2-oxoethyl)furan, a 15-step sequence then delivered the complete carbon skeleton and all functionality necessary for daphnenoid A. Key steps in the route include diastereoselective intramolecular oxidopyrylium cycloaddition, oxa-bridge cleavage under "push-pull" conditions, and intramolecular Diels-Alder cycloaddition.
