Myrtucommulones belong to a class of pharmacologically active natural compounds which offer various alternatives to the treatment of pain, inflammation and cancer. Their stereoselective synthesis remains therefore a key-challenge towards its use in the pharmaceutical industry. In the present work myrtucommulone A and B were synthesised through metal catalysis with 81 and 72% ee respectively. Thanks to the use of cinchonidine as an organocatalyst, 82 and 84% de were reached for myrtucommulone A and myrtucommulone F respectively. Simultaneously, a new synthetic method emerged and gave access to new range of possibilities for the preparation of myrtucommulone derivatives under mild conditions or through a one-pot reaction.
