Abstract

2‐Pyrones are frequently produced by microorganisms and often exhibit interesting bioactivities. Therefore, a short and easy synthetic access to these natural products is desirable. Synthetic routes to nectriapyrone, gibepyrone A, racemic gulypyrone A, (+)‐germicidin C, (ent)‐desoxygermicidin C and (ent)‐prolipyrone A via a modular approach are presented, allowing the assignment of the absolute configurations of the latter three chiral compounds. The method failed for the synthesis of (ent)‐phomapyrone B that was thus synthesized via a different route, resulting in an assignment of the absolute configuration of natural phomapyrone B.
