A total synthesis of the fungal-derived natural product pestynol is reported via a convergent chemoenzymatic approach from the readily available precursors geranyl bromide, ethyl acetoacetate, trimethylsilylacetylene, and bromobenzene. Synthetic (–)-pestynol proved to be identical in all respects to the natural material, allowing confirmation of the structure including absolute stereochemistry.
Synthesis of a Highly Functionalised and Homochiral 2-Iodocyclohexenone Related to the C-Ring of the Polycyclic, Indole Alkaloids Aspidophytine and Haplophytine

The enzymatically-derived and enantiomerically pure (1S,2S)-3-bromocyclohexa-3,5-diene-1,2-diol (7) has been elaborated over 10 steps into cyclohexenone 8. The latter compound embodies the enantiomeric form of the C-ring associated with the hexacyclic framework of the alkaloid aspidophytine (2). As such, this work sets the stage for effecting the conversion of the enantiomeric metabolite ent-7 into compound ent-8, and thence, through previously established protocols, including a palladium-catalysed Ullmann cross-coupling reaction, into the title alkaloids.
